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

Rachel Smith Design Lab: Kinetics Lab Introduction: ! Background Information- Effervescent tablets reduce stomach acid and help treat upset stomachs. The familiar fizzing you hear when you drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a glass of water is the result of a chemical reaction. After dropping the tablet into the water‚ the reaction causes the solid tablet to become dissolved and releases tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide. This reduces the time it takes for the medicine to work as it does not need to dissolve

string to a 50 g weight hanger and drape the string over the pulley. The string length should be such that‚ when one hanger hits the floor‚ the upper part of the other hanger is near the pulley‚ without touching the pulley. (You may find that the lab assistant has already set up the apparatus as described here. If so‚ double check the setup.) 2. Place equal masses of approximately 1000 g on each weight hanger. These masses should include four 5 g masses at the top of the left hanger. Hold back

Maria Reyes iLab‚ Week #3 ATOMIC WEIGHT OF MAGNESIUM LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine the atomic weight of magnesium by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas evolved when hydrochloric acid reacted with magnesium. In order to measure the atomic weight I needed to measure the amount of the hydrogen gas that was evolved in reaction to the acid of the magnesium. The reaction used was: Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + Mg2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq). The major findings of this experiment were that
