Acetanilide synthesis

Got a little dirty due to unreacted aniline but good nonetheless. In theory it was going to be used to make p-nitroaniline but failed miserably and I got a nitration burn instead so whatever

copper sulfate recrystallization

I found a very dirty sample of copper sulfate around 70g so I wanted to crystallize it. At first I got a weird slushy but I accidentally washed it with too much water so I had to do it all over again. It turned out much better and I had some really nice crystals. Yield of around 48.5%. Any interesting stuff to use it for?

After countless attempts and miserably failing to mix vinegar and baking soda I finally got some ok looking powder. Got about 10g so a yield of about 50% which is still miserable but better than nothing.
