Analgesics Using the thin layer chromatography the major components of a commercial analgesic tablet will be indentified and purified. The active ingredients of the analgesic used were characterized by comparison with chromatograms of aspirin‚ acetaminophen‚ ibuprofen‚ mefanemic acid‚ and caffeine through the use of UV chromatography then the Rf value was calculated for each solvent. INTRODUCTION In this experiment‚ thin-layer chromatography (TLC) will be used to determine the composition

Acetaminophen is prepared by reacting ammonia with acetic acid:  Figure 2. Chemical Equation for Tylenol Synthesis (Acetaminophen) The purity of an aspirin or Tylenol sample can be obtained by determining the melting point. The presence of impurities always lowers the melting
