Hasil

Percobaan sistesis Orange II dilakukan dengan beberapa tahap yaitu didiazosiasi, sintesis dan
kristalisasi. Tahapan didiazosiasi dimulai dengan melarutkan 2,4 g kristal asam sulfanilat
(monohidrat) dalam 25 ml laruran 25% natrium karbonat (0,65 g Na2CO3 anhidrat dan 25 ml air)
dengan pemanasan (gambar a), reaksi yang terjadi:

Tahapan yang terakhir adalah tahapan kristalisasi, dimulai dengan memanaskan campuran dari
tahap sintesis yang telah diinkubasi selama 5-10 menit sampai endapan larut. Kemudian
menambahakan 5 g NaCl dengan pemanasan dan pengadukan. Masukkan gelas beker ke dalam
cawan yang berisi air dan es dan dibiarkan sampai menjadi temperatur kamar (gambar f).
Akhirnya dengan pengadukan maka dikumpulkan hasilnya pada corong buncher (gambar g) dan
cuci dengan NaCl jenuh. Hasilnya mengering secara perlahan-lahan dan masih mengandung
NaCl. Residu yang dihasilkan ditambahkan larutan etanol dalam air ( atau etanol 70% sebanyak
50 mL) dan dikristalisasi (gambar h). Kertas saring yang sudah digunakan dicuci dengan air
yang mendidih kurang lebih 30 mL dan kemudian dikristalisasi juga karena diperkirakan masih
mengandung kristal orange II (gambar i).

Setelah didapatkan kristal orange II, kristal yang diperoleh dianalisis atau diuji titik leburnya
dengan melting point tester yang menggunakan alat bantu pipa kapiler sebagai wadah kristal.
Melting point tester diset agar panas yang diberikan melebihi titik lebur kristal orange II yaitu
170°C (titik lebur orange II = 164°C) sehingga pada suhu pertama kali kristal orange II yang
dihasilkan melebur biasanya pada bagian bawah pipa kapiler, menjadi titik lebur kristal orange
II.

Kesimpulan

Dari percobaan ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pewarna orange II merupakan salah satu pewarna
senyawa diazonium yang disintesis dari asam sulfanilat dan β-naftol.

Judul : Sintesis Orange II dengan Reaksi Coupling diazo

Tujuan Percobaan : Studi sintesis orange II dari asam p-aminobensenasulfonat (sulfanilic


acid) dengan β-naftol dengan reaksi coupling diazo.

Latar Belakang

Pewarna asam yang larut air pewarna digunakan terutama dalam bentuk garam natrium atau
karboksilat asam sulfanilat. Senyawa-senyawa tersebut merupakan anionik yang menempel kuat
kepada kelompok kationik dalam serat secara langsung yang dapat berlaku untuk semua jenis
serat alami seperti kapas dan sutra serta sintetis seperti poliester dan rayon. Senyawa-senyawa itu
juga digunakan dalam cat, tinta dan kulit. Salah satu dari senyawa tersebut adalah Orange II.
Sebagai mahasiswa kimia seharusnya mengetahui bagaimana teknik yang dilakukan dan tahap-
tahap yang terjadi pada proses Orange II.

Metode sistesis yang digunakan karena lebih cepat akibat adanya asam dan sebagai katalis
sehingga dapat mengurangi adanya penyusunan ulang yang lebih stabil pada proses sintesis dan
akan mengalami tahap reaksi coupling diazo yang akan dipelajari.

→ Didiazosiasi
→ Disintesis
→ Dikristalisasi

Hasil

1) Didiazosiasi

Larutkan 2,4 g kristal asam sulfanilat (monohidrat) dalam 25 ml laruran 25% natrium karbonat
(0,65 g Na2CO3 anhidrat dan 25 ml air) dengan cara pendidihan. Dinginkan larutan tersebut
dengan air kran. Tambahkan 0,95 g natrium nitrit dan aduk sampai larut. Tuang larutan dalam
beker yang berisi 12,5 g es dan 2,5 ml HCl pekat sampai berbentuk endapan putih yang akan
memisah dan siap dipakai. Hasil ini tidak dikumpulkan melainkan dipakai dalam bentuk
suspensi.
2) Sintesis

Larutkan 1,8 g β-naftol dalam 10 ml larutan NaOH 10% dingin dan tuanglah kedalam larutan ini,
dengan pengadukan suspensi asam sulfanilat yang sudah dibuat. Aduklah pasta kristal baik-baik
supaya terjadi percampuran yang sempurna, setelah 5-10 menit panaskan campuran itu sampai
zat padatnya melarut. Tambahakan 5 g NaCl dan larutankan semuanya dengan pemanasan dan
pengadukan. Masukkan gelas beker ke dalam cawan yang berisi air dan es dan biarkan larutan
menjadi dingin sampai temperatur kamar. Akhirnya dengan pengadukan maka dikumpulkan
hasilnya pada corong buncher dan pakai NaCl jenuh untuk mencuci endapan orange II diatas

corong Buchner dan berlangsung agak lambat. Hasilnya mengering secara perlahan-;ahan dan
masih mengandung NaCl. Namun jangan dikeringkan terlebih dahulu. Rekristalisasi dengan
larutan etanol dalam air ( atau etanol 70% sebanyak 50 mL). Pindahkan larutan ke dalam gelas
beker dan cucilah kertas saringnya dengan air mendidih dan tidak lebih dari 25 mL. Saring
melalui corong Buchner yang telah dihangatkan. Tuangkan filtratnya ke dalam elenmeyer jika
lebih dari 30 ml maka uapkan dengan mendidihkan. Dinginkan dengan air es sewaktu
mengumpulkan endapan. Bilas gelas beker induk dengan sedikit etanol. Keringkan Kristal yang
diperoleh didalam eksikator, timbang, dan tentukan titik leburnya.

Pembahasan Hasil

Setelah didapatkan kristal orange II dianalisis atau diuji titik leburnya, dan diperoleh titik lebur
165°C pada percobaan yang pertama dan 168°C pada percobaan yang kedua. Seharusnya titik
lebur orange II 164°C (www.wikipedia.com/wiki/orange_II), hasil yang diperoleh berbeda
dengan sumber referensi dikarenakan pengamatan yang kurang cermat dan teliti saat pengamatan
dan sampel yang diuji titik leburnya terlalu banyak yang dimasukkan ke dalam pipa kapiler
sehingga kesulitan mengamati suhu saat awal kristal orange II melebur. Secara stoikiometri
kristal orange II yang dihasilkan seharusnya 3,936 gram, data jumlah kristal orange II diperoleh
dengan menimbang total kristal orange II dengan berat beaker glass yang kemudian dikurangi
dengan berat beaker glass dihasilkan 3,31 gram pada percobaan 1 dan pada percobaan 2
diperoleh 3,45.gram. Data yang diperoleh dari percobaan berbeda dengan yang seharusnya
diperoleh secara stoikiometri diperkirakan sebagian kecil kristal orange II ikut tercuci pada
batang pengaduk saat pengadukan pada tahap kristalisasi.

Kesimpulan

Dari percobaan ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pewarna orange II merupakan salah satu pewarna
senyawa diazonium yang disintesis dari asam sulfanilat dan β-naftol.

Saran

Dari percobaan yang dilakukan disarankan bagi praktikan yang akan melakukan percobaan ini
untuk lebih memperhatikan aspek-aspek dalam hal kualitatif seperti uji titik lebur dan aspek-
aspek yang mempengaruhi kuantitatif dari kristal orange II karena pasta saat kristalisasi sangat
kental.

Special Remarks on Fire Hazards:
Containers should be grounded. CAUTION: MAY BURN WITH NEAR INVISIBLE FLAME Vapor may travel considerable
distance to source of ignition and flash back. May form explosive mixtures with air. Contact with Bromine pentafluoride is likely
to cause fire or explosion. Ethanol ignites on contact with chromyl chloride. Ethanol ignites on contact with iodine heptafluoride
gas. It ignites than explodes upon contact with nitrosyl perchlorate. Additon of platinum black catalyst caused ignition.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards:
Ethanol has an explosive reaction with the oxidized coating around potassium metal. Ethanol ignites and then explodes on
contact with acetic anhydride + sodium hydrosulfate (ignites and may explode), disulfuric acid + nitric acid, phosphorous(III)
oxide platinum, potassium-tert-butoxide+ acids. Ethanol forms explosive products in reaction with the following compound :

p. 2
ammonia + silver nitrate (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), iodine + phosphorus (forms ethane iodide), magnesium
perchlorate (forms ethyl perchlorate), mercuric nitrate, nitric acid + silver (forms silver fulminate) silver nitrate (forms ethyl
nitrate) silver(I) oxide + ammonia or hydrazine (forms silver nitride and silver fulminate), sodium (evolves hydrogen gas).
Sodium Hydrazide + alcohol can produce an explosion. Alcohols should not be mixed with mercuric nitrate, as explosive
mercuric fulminate may be formed. May form explosive mixture with manganese perchlorate + 2,2-dimethoxypropane. Addition
of alcohols to highly concentrate hydrogen peroxide forms powerful explosives. Explodes on contact with calcium hypochlorite
