Student number: 658184 Due Date: 19th Sept 2012 Paracetamol: Preparation‚ Purification and Analysis 1.1 Introduction Paracetamol (N- (4- hydroxyphenyl) ethanamide) or acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It is a relatively safe drug though toxicity has been observed with very high doses.1 according to the British Pharmacopeia (BP) 111 paracetamol should contain between 95.0%- 105.0% of the stated product.2 It can be synthesised by reacting 4-aminophenol

TITLE- Shower-Fresh Fragrance CHAPTER 1 * Introduction Our world is changing; this is because of the rapid growth of our scientific minds. Instant things are created such as instant food‚ condiments and especially beauty products. Scientist using this knowledge had invented machines that make things easily or for an instant. However‚ sometimes they don’t know the effect of these machines to our health. Would it help us or even kill us? Different metals and chemicals are the components of

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize methyl m-Nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ concentrated HNO3‚ and concentrated H2 SO4 by an electrophilic substitution reaction. The H2 SO4 and the HNO3 were initially combined to form nitronium ion which was then used as an electrophile in the reaction. Crystals that were collected after the formation of the methyl m-Nitrobenzoate were collected by vacuum filtration and the product was isolated and purified

Once the juice arrived in the boiling house‚ it was contained in clarifying vats and lime was added. It was then boiled in cast iron "coppers" of diminishing size. The furiously hot liquid would be skimmed and ladled into the next smaller copper until it reached just the right consistency and was diverted to a wooden trough leading to wooden flats where it was allowed to cool. The slaves who mastered the boiling stage of the refining process were some of the most highly valued workers on a plantation

This experiment aims to discover the effect of 6 different treatments on the permeability of the cell membrane. These will be distilled water‚ sucrose‚ sodium hydroxide‚ hydrochloric acid‚ ethanol and boiled water. The treatments include immersion in these solutions‚ and exposure to high temperature. The tissue used is from the taproot of a beetroot‚ and the effect on the membrane’s permeability assessed by the amount of pigment leakage that occurs. Hypothesis ==========

Materials and methods Preparation of saponins from sea cucumber: Saponins were isolated from the sea cucumber‚ Holothuria thomasi (purchased from Hurghada‚ Red sea‚ Egypt and identified by Zoology department‚ Faculty of science‚ Tanta‚ Egypt)‚ according to the method described by Hu et al.‚ (2010) with some modification. Air-dried body walls (750 g) of sea cucumber were grinded into powder and extracted with eight liter with refluxing ethanol. The combined extracts were evaporated with rotary evaporator
