Gamido‚ Mitchiko Mariel M. Mizukami Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid‚ or also known as aspirin is known to be a drug that relives people of pain and is commonly used even today. It is synthesized from salicylic acid and ethanoic anhydride‚ both of small quantities. Phosphoric acid was used as a catalyst in the synthesis to speed up the process. Esterification is involved and the final product is aspirin with the presence of acetic acid as the byproduct. In order to create the powder form of aspirin

Figure 1: Formation of benzocaine from p-aminobenzoic acid Experimental P-aminobenzoic acid (1.211g) and absolute ethanol (15mls) were combined with three boiling chips in a 50ml round bottom flask. The round bottom flask was placed on a heating plate and was refluxed starting at 109 ̊C. The solution began boiling at 111 ̊C. It was allowed to reflux for approximately 30 minutes and the solid was dissolved. The round bottom flask was then placed in an ice bath and allowed to cool to

Full Lab Report Experiment #2: Acid-Base Titration Lab Description: Acid-Base Titration Introduction In this lab exercise we will evaluate the effectiveness of several indicators for the determination of the point of completion of a specific acid-base neutralization reaction. We will also determine the unknown concentration of the strong base NaOH by its reaction with a known amount of the weak acid‚ potassium acid phtalate (HKC8H4O4‚ abbreviated KHP). This will be accomplished using the titration

Studying the pH of Strong Acid‚ Weak Acid‚ Salt‚ and Buffer Solutions The purpose of the current experiment was to determine the pH of various hydrochloric acid and acetic acid solutions‚ to determine the pH of various salt solutions‚ to prepare a buffer solution‚ and determine the effects of adding a strong acid and strong base to the buffer solution versus adding a strong acid and strong base to water. The measured pHs for the hydrochloric acid solutions were 1.6‚ 2.2‚ 2.9‚ and 3.8. The measured

Objectives 1. To separate a mixture of an acid and a neutral compound into its component by extraction. 2. To determine the melting point and the yield of the benzoic acid and the unknown sample. 3. To determine the unknown sample whether is is Trimethylmethanol or 1‚2‚4‚5-Tetrachlorobenzene. Introduction Extraction is a process of transferring a solute from one solvent to another. It is usually used to separate one or more components from a mixture. Diethyl ether‚ dichloromethane

The Effectiveness of Phosphoric Acid on Meat Chapter I. Introduction A. Background Of The Study This experiment was performed to find out if the acidity in Coca Cola could dissolve meat. The testing was done by placing pieces of pork‚ chicken breast and salmon into bowls filled with Coca Cola‚ and observing meat for 5 days. Coca Cola is a popular carbonated beverage that is sold in more than 200 countries. Also known as Coke‚ it can be purchased from vending machines‚ department stores and
