Picric acid synthesis : from Phenol

Picric acid is 2,4,6Trinitrophenol
I synthesised it from phenol. you can also try synthesis from aspirin

i first sulfonated phenol and then i nitrated it

Phenol was taken in an erlenmyer flask and concentrated sulfuric acid was added . Then it formed p-hydroxy benzene sulfonic acid. it was then heated for 30 minute to ensure complete sulfonation. It was then subjected to nitration

This video has been recorded and edited with much effort and difficulty. Lack of proper equipment and chemicals can make video look unfinished. I request your love and support in donations also.
