Abstract The purpose of this experiment 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

of gas produced in various reactions. The Ideal Gas Law was needed in order to calculate the mass of reactants and moles of gas produced: ‚ where is the pressure in atm‚ is the volume in Liters‚ is the number of moles‚ is the ideal gas constant [0.082 (Latm)/(Kmol)]‚ and is the temperature in Kelvins. Considering the units on R‚ it was important to convert pressure‚ volume‚ and temperature to atm‚ L‚ and K‚ respectively. In this investigation‚ the volume of reaction space needed to be measured

conducted to find the specific heat of a metal as well as the heat of solution of a solid. Both experiments required the use of calorimetry to measure heat flow and temperature change. The specific heat of the metal was found by heating it in boiling water before transferring it to the calorimeter that was partially filled with water. After shaking the calorimeter‚ the temperature change was measured and recorded. This information was used to calculate the specific heat. The heat of solution of a solid

The Ideal Gas Law Lab taught me that hydrogen is lighter than air‚ and can be ignited. The materials used for the experiment include 0.05 grams of magnesium‚ 1M H2SO4‚ water‚ a 100mL graduated cylinder‚ and a beaker. The hydrogen can be ignited with a match. First‚ the beaker is filled with water. The acid is then added to the graduated cylinder‚ with about ¾ inch left at the top‚ which is space for water. Afterward‚ the magnesium is added to the graduated cylinder‚ and it is inverted upside down

Measuring Human Reaction Time Name: Prerna Mohan Date: November 3‚ 2017 Team members: Allison Fitzgerald‚ Isabella Federico 1. Objectives The objective of this lab is to measure each individual’s reaction time using a ruler. 2. Method and Equation: We will apply free fall kinematics to find our own reaction time. An object in free fall is an object in motion where gravity is the sole force acting upon it. If we drop an object from a certain distance‚ the object will experience constant

Burning Money Chemistry Demonstration Principle You soak a note in ethanol (alcohol) and it will burn when lighted‚ leaving the note untouched. This is because alcohol is more flammable‚ and burning alcohol causes it to vaporize‚ along with the water present in the solution. This removes heat from the note and prevents it from reaching its combustion point.

Chemistry (the etymology of the word has been much disputed)[1] is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics‚ but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach‚ chemistry is more specialized‚ being concerned with the composition‚ behavior (or reaction)‚ structure‚ and properties of matter‚ as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.[2] It is a physical science which studies various substances‚ atoms‚ molecules

CHAPTER # 1 Q.DEFINE CHEMISTRY. A. Chemistry‚ a branch of physical science‚ is the study of the composition‚ properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms‚ and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds.
