Abstract For the amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet to be determined‚ different solutions of acetylsalicylic acid mixed with NaOH were created at different concentrations. All the different solutions were then analysed using Novaspec photometer‚ which allowed for a graph to be created and a line of best fit to be made. The amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet was found to be 350mg. Introduction The molecular formula for aspirin‚ also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is C9H8O4. It is most

Aspirin were used to relieve pain‚ inflammation‚ and fever. Aspirin were made using a combination of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride.The goal of this experiment was to determined the purity of aspirin using different methods. These methods included‚ reacting salicylic acid with FeCl3‚ finding its melting points‚ and by doing Thin-layer chromatography. When you reacted salicylic acid with FeCl3‚ changes in color will occur. Pure Aspirin has a melting point around 135°C and a pure salicylic acid

Experimental Synthesis of Aspirin and Melting Point Purity Analysis Donald Yeargin CH 222‚ Section 24221 Department of Chemistry Portland Community College Portland‚ OR Abstract The various methods available to synthesize aspirin lead to the need to examine and evaluate production efficiency and purity. The purpose of our experiment was to synthesize acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and then determine the relative purity of the synthesized sample by observing the melting point temperature

Medicine Analysis – Synthesising Aspirin results After recrystallisation differences between the crude and purified aspirin were noted. The impure (crude) aspirin was powered and fluffy with small clumps and was slightly yellow in colour whereas the pure aspirin has a less fluffy crystalline powder and was whiter. This showed distinct differences in the two substances but similarities were also apparent showing aspirin‚ in some level‚ was created. Before recrystallisation the crude aspirin could

Safety Precautions for Synthesis of Acetic Anhydride Acetic Anhydride Acetic anhydride is an irritant and also flammable‚ therefore gloves and goggles should be worn at all times during the experiment. It is reactive to water‚ so in the case of fire‚ alcohol foam or carbon dioxide is preferred to use as an extinguisher. This chemical has harmful fumes and use of a fume hood is strongly recommended. Sulphuric and Salicylic Acid These acids may irritate the skin in high concentrations. Take

Commercial Aspirin Tablet Analysis Tuesday Evening Intro: The purpose of this lab was to analyze commercial aspirin tablets. To do so‚ the percent acetylsalicyclic acid (active ingredient) in tablets using acid-base titration was determined‚ the percent acetylsalicyclic acid in tablets by formation of a colored iron(III)-salicylate complex was determined using spectrometry‚ and then the percents from each process was compared. Acetylsalicylic acid is produced when salicylic acid and acetic

In addition‚ separating the desired product from the rest of the reaction mixture‚ and then purifying it‚ will result in the loss of more of the product.

IB1 Chemistry Practical #8 ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN TABLETS For a long time the bark of the willow tree (salix alba) was used as a traditional medicine to relieve the fever symptoms of malaria. In the 1860’s chemists showed that the active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) and by 1870 salicylic acid was in wide use as a pain killer (analgesic) and fever depressant (antipyretic). However‚ because it is a relatively strong acid‚ salicylic acid has the undesirable side effect
