Rebecca Boreham 7/1/14 Chem 2423 Experiment #5 Synthesis of Aspirin Elizabeth Ajasa Kaylee Seymour Lauren Hatfield Suveda Perikala Introduction/ Purpose Aspirin is the most commonly used drug in the United States. Forty million pounds are produced each year. The chemical name for aspirin is Acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Aspirin originated from the bark of a White Willow Tree. Chewing the bark however is extremely acidicand irritates the mucous membranes

Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract: This experiment is about the synthesis of aspirin under laboratory conditions. Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride; in the presence of sulfuric acid. After fully dissolving the salicylic acid with acetic anhydride‚ the solution is cooled and cold water is then added. Once the crystals form they are then filtered and left to dry out. There mass is measured and recorded then the yield is calculated. Introduction:

Racism can be “defined as the hatred of one person by another or the belief that another person is less than human because of skin color‚ language‚ customs‚ place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. It has influenced wars‚ slavery‚ the formation of nations‚ and legal codes” (“What”). The face of racism over the past 50 years has changed but yet‚ some still stay the same. People made laws against racism and it is not as blunt anymore. But opinions and stereotypes

Preparation of Fruit Flavors (Pear) Abstract. In this experiment an assigned Ester is prepared‚ particularly n-Propanol. The Preparation was done via Fischer reaction. In this reaction‚ a reflux set-up is required. The reflux set-up was used in the liquid-liquid extraction. After adding an immiscible solution to the compound containing n-Propanol‚ the mixture now will have two layer: the Organic and Aqueous layer. The organic layer is the extract needed and its % yield is computed resulting to

Experiment # 3 Acetylsalicylic Acid Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to create and isolate pure acetylsalicylic acid from the substances salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Then one will find the melting point to determine purity. Procedure: Make a hot bath. Weigh some salicylic acid and place in conical vial. Add .480mL of acetic anhydride and a drop of concentrated phosphoric acid. Drop in a magnetic spin vane and attach air condenser to vial. Partially submerge it in

“The Girl Who Was On Fire” Throughout history‚ one of the most prominent issues in society is the way gender plays its role. Women have always been cast aside as being the weaker one‚ being too emotional‚ while men‚ on the other hand‚ are the strong ones‚ who need no help and can do everything by themselves. This is why‚ in The Hunger Games‚ Katniss Everdeen is such a role model for women everywhere. She is the perfect mixture of a young woman who can act just like “the guys‚” yet‚ at the same
