    Being able to extract a compound or substance from a product or object will encourage us in being able to do the same in a similar manner with a tea solution. Extracting compounds is an important step in any kind of organic chemistry lab and will help us be better at accomplishing the experiment in a much faster and accurate rate than from before. Experimental To begin the experiment‚ a tea solution must be made by incorporating a tea bag into a beaker filled with almost boiling water and the

    conduct the synthesis of aspirin‚ acquire the skills of recrystallisation using normal filtration and reinforce the technique of the melting point determination. The method used to synthesize aspirin was esterification by reacting salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the presence of dehydrating agent‚ conc. sulphuric acid‚ to speed up the reaction. Having obtained the crude aspirin which was still impure‚ recrystallisation was conducted to remove the impurities. The aspirin harvested at the end

    Lab 1: Synthesis of Aspirin Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the ability to easily alter the molecular structure of a compound to greatly increase its utility. In this case‚ an acetyl group was added to salicylic acid‚ a naturally occurring compound with significant pharmaceutical value. Without the addition of the acetyl group‚ salicylic acid is an irritant to the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Once the acetyl group is added via a simple reaction‚ acetylsalicylic
