Emily synthesized acetanilide by stirring aniline and acetic anhydride together in water at 100C. Acetanilide is a solid at room temperature, while everything else is a liquid. Emily noted that while the reaction was running, everything was dissolved and the liquid was a pale orange. Emily allowed the reaction to cool to room temperature and then cooled it in an ice bath. After the slow cooling, a solid appeared.
