Acetaminophen Abstract: The aim of this experiment is to prepare Acetaminophen (p-acetamidophenol)‚ an amide. Acetaminophen will be created by treating an amine (p-aminophenol) with an acetic anhydride. Color impurities present in the solid acetaminophen will be removed and then the decolorized product will be collected on a Büchner funnel for further purification by crystallization. Purity will then be determined by melting point. Introduction: Acetaminophen is commonly used as an analgesic to

Aspirin has been a pain reliever for more than 100 years. Aspirin has been used as a remedy for many illnesses for centuries now and still more things are yet to be identified about aspirin and its uses. It was recently discovered that aspirin can be used to reduce clotting of the platelets in the blood vessels‚ thus reducing the risk of heart attack in humans. Most students in their youthful age were not able to give their heart the maximum care it deserved‚ as a result‚ it leads to heart related

Explaining what Aspirin is. An aspirin is a medication used as a treatment to those who are suffering from mild conditions‚ such as fever‚ pain‚ and/or inflammation. It’s helpful use is to give aid to those who are suffering from toothaches‚ common colds‚ chest pain‚ headaches‚ and many more symptoms of mild pain‚ fever‚ or inflammation. It is also known to reduce blood clotting. Its scientific name is acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)‚ with it’s chemical formula being C9H8O4‚ and its IUPAC name being 2-acetyloxy

| Determining the melting point of aspirin • Firstly we turned on the melting point equipment; we referred to data tables for the actual value for the melting point of the aspirin. • Then we arranged the equipment to a point below the expected melting point we then noted that the rate of heating will influence the reading of the melting point. • Afterward we dipped the sealed capillary tube provided into the sample of our aspirin prepared until we got sufficient depth (about

Today‚ aspirin is one of the most widely used medication on this Earth and has been since its popular breakout in the late 1890s. Long before we were born there was no such thing of a medication called aspirin. Instead‚ ancient people used willow leaves and bark from trees to help relieve oneself from pain and fevers. Aspirin as we come to know it in the form of an acetylsalicylic acid‚ was introduced to the world by Chemist Felix Hoffmann who was working at Bayer pharmaceutical company located in

Determining the Percentage of 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic Acid in an Aspirin Tablet Introduction and Aim: An Aspirin tablet is an analgesic; therefore the purpose is to relieve pain and due to it also being an antipyretic its other tenacity is to lower the body temperature. An experiment was carried out on the basis of calculating the percentage of 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic Acid in aspirin tablets hence 4 commercial tablets were taken to determine its purity using a known volume of standard sodium
