What Is Acetamide Used For?
Acetamide, also called ethanamide, is the simplest amide of acetic acid, which makes it a standard example in organic chemistry teaching. A common practical is the test for the amide group: warming a little acetamide with sodium hydroxide solution releases ammonia, detected by its smell or by moist red litmus turning blue. Its fairly low melting point also makes it a convenient compound for students learning to determine a melting point with a capillary tube and melting-point apparatus.
In college and research laboratories it is used as a reagent and starting material in preparative work. Read the MSDS before use, wear gloves and eye protection, avoid breathing the dust and weigh out only what the experiment needs. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place, since the solid can pick up moisture from the air. As part of your chemistry consumables, order enough for a term's practicals rather than one class.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 500 g packs required.
- Confirmation that analytical reagent grade suits your work.
- Whether you need the MSDS in advance for your chemical safety file.
- The delivery destination, since chemicals may need specific transport arrangements.
