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.

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.

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

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.
