    is to synthesize a common organic product called acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)‚ and to become familiar with the optimum conditions needed for successful yields. Aspirin is produced from an acid catalyzed reaction between salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. The crystalline aspirin is synthesized and purified by recrystallization‚ although there is not a hundred percent yield due to sources of error. Introduction Aspirin is a medicine commonly found in households around the world. It also is one

    Abstract: • Introduction/Objective: Prepare and analyze aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride‚ and calculate the percent yield of the synthesized aspirin. • Materials and Methods: This experiment called for the synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid‚ or aspirin‚ by using salicylic acid‚ acetic anhydride‚ sulfuric acid‚ and vacuum filtration. The salicylic acid and the acetic anhydride were mixed in a flask. Sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst to speed up the decomposition rate of

    reliever)‚ which is one of the products of the esterification reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. This esterification occurs since the hydroxyl group from the salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester. In this experiment‚ we will be able to recreate this acid catalyzed reaction‚ using sulfuric acid as our catalyst in order to produce acetylsalicylic acid and acetic acid. The final product of this reaction will be some crystals‚ which will be mainly composed of

    purity of aspirin by adding Iron (III) chloride to the product. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that salicylic acid will react with acetic anhydride to produce acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid (vinegar). Variables: Independent and controlled variables: The amount of sulfuric acid used for catalysis and the amount of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Dependent variables: Theoretical and actual yield of aspirin. Constant variables: Two beakers filled with 200 mL of water for the

    Aspirin ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to find out how a reaction undergoes for a globally known painkiller called aspirin‚ and to become familiar with achieving successful yields. Aspirin is synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Those two chemicals are mixed together along with sulfuric acid to form a crude solid. Filtration is used separate the impurities from the crude aspirin. To get purified aspirin‚ the precipitate was heated until all the excess had been removed

    purity. The purpose of our experiment was to synthesize aspirin from acetyl anhydride‚ salicylic acid‚ and sulfuric acid. And then determine the relative purity of the synthesized sample. The procedure performed in our experiment involved chemically reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in order to form acetyl salicylic acid. The limiting reactant in this chemical reaction was salicylic acid‚ with acetic anhydride present in excess in order to react with any water produced during the reaction

    Manila 1008 Date Submitted: September 13‚ 2012 ------------------------------------------------- Abstract Carboxylic acid derivatives namely‚ acyl halides‚ acid anhydrides‚ esters and amides were classified through different reactivity tests. The samples used were acetyl chloride for acyl halide group‚ acetic anhydride for acid anhydride group‚ ethyl acetate for ester group‚ acetamide and benzamide for amide group. These derivatives were identified through the mechanism of hydrolysis‚ alcoholysis
