coursework I have been investigating the synthesis of Aspirin and checking for presence and purity of Aspirin. Throughout this coursework we have looked at the history of Aspirin; industrial manufacturing; making salicylic acid; the preparation of Aspirin; recrystallization and purity; melting point; thin layer chromatography (TLC) and titration of Aspirin. I’ve learned a lot about Aspirin‚ how it works and how it is made. We found out that the Aspirin we made and used was actually very pure when we

Experiment conducted: 05/02/2009 Date Report Written: 08/02/2009 Synthesis of Acetyl salicylic acid (Aspirin) Abstract Introduction: The following report contains information on how to produce aspirin. The experiment has been carried out on a small laboratory scale. The experiment starts by combining such chemicals such as salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. The synthesis of aspirin is classified as an esterification reaction. This is a substitution reaction where the alcohol group from

My first source for evaluation is a secondary source that is an online article‚ “The Unknown Clara Bow”. This article was written by William Cramer on February 24‚ 1998. Cramer’s purpose of this article was to educate and inform those who are interested in learning about flapper culture and‚ more specifically‚ Clara Bow. Cramer contains detailed knowledge of Bow through many sources‚ which he has cited on his website‚ from authors and historians who have focused on the 1920s with credible references

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

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

which organism we had in our unknown mixed culture tube by running a series of experiments to detect which specific Gram negative organism we had. To detect your gram positive from the mixed culture was given as extra credit points also. A Gram stain was performed and isolation streak plate in order to isolate and observe the unknown organism. Before the series of test‚ a dichotomous key had to be written up in order to know what steps and tests to run to identify the unknown Gram negative organism. I

Cogswell ENG2D- 02 October 15‚ 11 Fear of the Unknown People are quick to judge‚ fear and hate the unknown. Some people may not admit it but everyone is plagued with the tendency to let our imagination take over reality and turn it into the unknown. An excellent example of this is in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies. All the boys in Golding’s novel are totally indulged in the theme of fear of the unknown. All of these have some “unknown” element to them; they can’t see in the dark‚ they

involves two oxidation-reduction reactions to calculate the oxidizing capacity of a sample of unknown bleach. In order to determine the volume of Na2S2O3 added‚ students will conduct a titration of bleach with thiosulfate with addition of a starch indicator to find the end point of the titration. Moreover‚ the oxidizing capacity of bleach is calculated with the percentage by mass of NaOCl in the unknown bleach sample. The overall chemical reaction throughout the experiment will be balanced with the

In this experiment‚ gravimetric analysis will be used to determine the unknown metal carbonate. Gravimetric analysis. Gravimetric analysis is a method where an ion being analyzed can be classified through their mass (Yoder 2018). Due to the fact that carbonates can be hygroscopic‚ which means it would be able to absorb water from water vapor‚ extra precautions have to be taken place to be able to get an accurate mass (Helmenstine 2017). This can be done by using a drying oven and a desiccator. A
