preparation of aspirin and oil of wintergreen | Introduction Organic compounds are those which contain carbon as well as a select other elements. An organic acid however‚ is an organic compound which contains acidic properties. An ester is an example of being a derivative of these organic acids. Esters can be prepared by the reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols‚ with an inorganic acid used as a catalyst which is dubbed esterification. With o-hydrobenzoic acid‚ or salicylic

Flame test: AIM: To determine which part of the salt is responsible for the characteristics in the flame. HYPOTHESIS: If we introduce a metal salt in the blue flame of the Bunsen burner‚ then the colour given off by the flame is due to the metal part of the salt. METHOD: (1) With a heat proof mat under the Bunsen burner‚ turn the gas on and light up the Bunsen burner with matches. (2) Pour enough Hydrochloric acid into a beaker. (3) Using your wire‚ dip it into the beaker containing Hydrochloric

Introduction: The purpose behind (the first step in) this experiment is to show that similarly to week 1‚ the molarity of an acid or base in solution can be determined (so long as one value’s is known) using titration. In this case though‚ finding the molarity of the acid used in the reaction is then used to determine the percent of that acid in a vinegar solution and compared to the standard value for % acid present in vinegar. The second part of the experiment was to see if by titrating a solution
Premium Acetic acid Vinegar Concentration
FDA Vinegar / Acetic Acid Analysis Objective- Determine the Acetic acid level contained within the vinegar sample Background- Per the FDA regulation which states that consumer vinegar may contain no less than four percent and no more than five percent Acetic Acid‚ we will determine the Acetic Acid content of a sample of the vinegar in question through titration. After standardization of our titrant‚ which in this case will be NaOH‚ we will use this along with the indicator Phenolphthalein

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

Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth Plant Science The question of this science fair project question is “Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth.” This is a good question because aspirin help human get better but‚ will it help plant grow bigger. Or maybe it makes the plant grow faster? Or maybe it can make the plant not grow at all. In this science experiment I am using dieffenbachia plants. Dieffenbachia plants are usually house plants. This is great because this science experiment is being done in the

The crude product (aspirin) was purified in the last lab‚ using recrystallization‚ in which we dissolved the crude product with hot ethanol. We then added 25 mL of water until the product reformed (the solution became cloudy white) and redissolved the solid with hot ethanol. The solution was allowed to cool for a week‚ and crystals of purified solid were formed. In order to analyze this purified product‚ we determined the melting point by placing a small sample of the aspirin in a capillary tube
