it's a slfonation and made benzene sulfonyl chloride

Think about the byproduct that forms in the reaction between the
aminothiazole and the sulfonyl chloride. And remember that
potassium carbonate is a base. Good luck with the chem 390 lab
report

The moisture in the atmosphere will react with the sulfonyl
chloride like so:
RSO2Cl + H2O ---> RSO2OH + HCl
(where R is the rest of your acetaminobenzene bit)

In an aromatic sulfonation reaction, a sulfonyl group (-SO3H) replaces a hydrogen on an aromatic ring (such as benzene). This is done by refluxing (heating to boiling with a reflux condenser) the aromatic with fuming sulfuric acid (concentrated sulfuric acid with gaseous SO3 present).
This reaction is reversible, so mixing the aryl sulfonic acid with a dilute acid will reform the sulfuric acid and remove the sulfonyl group from the arene.
