    Separting the Components of Panacetin

    The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the composition of a simulated pharmaceutical preparation Panacetin, a proposed type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose, aspirin, and acetaminophen, but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen, either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as extraction, evaporation, and filtration, the three components will be isolated based on their solubilities and acid-base properties. The percent composition of Panacetin will also be deduced based on the masses of the three dried components; this is done to verify the composition attained is consistent with those listed on the preparations label. As a result of this investigation, my teammates and I allowed the Panacetin to undergo gravity filtration and separation techniques in order to identify whether there are any discrepancies in the components of the Panacetin. Furthermore, recrystallization and purification methods were used to determine if the unknown substance were similar in properties to either of the suspected unknown substances by comparing factors such as melting points to the chemical properties of phenactin and acetanilide. The results were as expected, based on the molecular weights and ratios of each separated chemicals, as well as the boiling point of the unknown it was determined that these ranges were close enough to indicate that the label is reasonably accurate in its composition. To add on however the identity of the unknown component differed from what the label indicated. In the end, the percentage composition attained based on our observations and yield confirmed that indeed the chemical composition of Panacetin were as indicated on the preparations label. The identity of the unknown component however suggested that the preparation did not contain acetaminophen as indicated, but instead was consistent with the chemical properties…

    Analyze the Causes of and the Responses to the Peasants Revolts in the German States 1524-1526

    During a short two year period of the 16th century, the peasant class formed groups to challenge the power and argue for freedom. Dialogue turned into violence and principles such as the _Twelve Articles of the Swabian Peasants_ turned to pillage throughout the German States of the Holy Roman Empire (Doc.2). The impact was felt everywhere but in the end the uprising led to over 100,000 deaths and not much change. The peasants began the fight by arguing against being treated unfairly through actions that were imposed on them by the nobility. The nobility reacted to the peasants ' claims out of fear over the potential loss of their "workforce" and their power.…

    19th century prison reform

    Another widely used method of punishment was transportation. The British used transportation as an alternative to capital punishment for the most serious offenders. Prisoners were sent to the British colony of New South Wales in Australia. Some prisoners were even transported to the British colonies in America. This did not last long, however, as it was interrupted by the American war for independence (www.e2bn.com).…

    Differences Between Native Americans And Europeans

    In 1450, North America and Europe were each home to complex societies with their own distinctive cultures. (Textbook, pg.2) Native Americans and Europeans were similar in many ways, though still having differences among themselves; their distinctive ideas on gods and the spirit world informed their political systems and animated their approaches to trade and warfare. (Textbook, pg.2) Horticulture societies allowed for a more sedentary lifestyle, which in turn led to greater social, political, and religious development. (Farless, lecture 1.11)…
