Organic Chemistry Lab Introduction: Panacetin purportedly includes sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen. However‚ the accuracy of Panacetin’s contents has been called into question by the Association for Safe Pharmaceuticals. Therefore‚ the lab must discover the accuracy of the ingredients listed on Panacetin’s label. The unknown in this experiment is presumed to be something similar to acetaminophen‚ such as acetanilide or phenacetin. Recrystallization and melting point temperature were

Objective: The goal of the experiment was to use UV/VIS spectroscopy to collect data to quantify acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ and caffeine from a migraine tablet where there is heavy spectral interference using Target Factor Analysis1. The migraine tablet has other ingredients in it like FD&C blue #1‚ stearic acid‚ and saccharin. Saccharin is the ingredient thought to have the biggest interference and was used as the experimental basis2. Instruments: UV/VIS spectroscopy was used to analyze the absorption

through melting point‚ percent recover‚ and Rf values. The comparable data for acetaminophen from the manufacturer is 500mg of active ingredient. After conducting the experiment-extraction‚ distillation‚ and evaporation- 451mg of active ingredient. This relates to a 68.1% recovery. The melting point was between 158 and 165 degrees Celsius‚ which is almost ten degrees lower than the published melting point of acetaminophen. After conducting a TLC plate‚ the Rf value was calculated to be .4268‚ the same

Wednesday‚ May 8th‚ 2013 | | | 5/15/2013 | | Introduction: The goal of this experiment was to identify an unknown analgesic drug through the use of thin-layer chromatography. The drugs used were‚ Unknown #1‚ caffeine‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen. Thin-Layer Chromatography is a technique for identifying substances using a mobile phase (developing solvent) that draws up through a stationary phase (TLC plate) and marks spots of differing distances for differing substances.

similar to ibuprofen‚ acetaminophen is used to treat many conditions such as headache‚ muscle aches‚ arthritis‚ backache‚ toothaches‚ colds‚ and fevers. There are other purposes this medication could be used for. Another name for acetaminophen is Paracetamol/APAP‚ while its chemical formula is C8H9NO2 and its IUPAC name is n-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanamide. Acetaminophen comes from its chemical name‚ para-acetylaminophenol‚ which is broken down into acet-amino-phen. Acetaminophen is known to have several

ingredients in Vicodin are Hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is considered to be a pain reliever that acts similarly to codine and is effective at decreasing the pain as well as relieving cough‚ however its can also cause drowsiness‚ mood changes‚ and metal “clouding”. Because of this reason the it can only be used when combined with another drug and not alone‚ as far as in the United States. Therefore its combined with acetaminophen‚ which is also a pain reliever along with a fever

that it can affect patients by effectively reducing pain while also having potential side effects such as sedation‚ respiratory depression‚ and euphoria. Percocet is the brand name for a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen. Percocet has 5 mg of oxycodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen. Oxycodone is considered a schedule II controlled substance‚ in which there is only one higher schedule‚ which includes drugs that are not safe for medicinal use and have a high chance of abuse such as heroin and ecstasy

to be the most polar due to the fact that it stayed closer to the stationary phase. Caffeine contains four amine groups that are extremely polar as a result of the hydrogen bond and amide functional group. Acetaminophen was found to be the second most polar analgesic drug tested. Acetaminophen contains a polar alcohol group on one side and amide group on the other but also includes non-polar functional groups that consisted of the benzene ring and methyl group. Acetylsalicylic acid low polarity results

There was found to be 4.03±0.144mg/100mL of acetaminophen‚ 11.5±0.185mg/100mL of aspirin‚ and 4.89±0.185mg/100mL of caffeine. Based on accepted values‚ the maximum daily amounts of each compound are 4000mg of acetaminophen‚ 520mg of caffeine‚ and 400mg of aspirin.
