Preparation and melting point of Aspirin Aspirin is a painkilling drug and is produced worldwide to reduce and stop pain. Aspirin is made up of ehtanoylation of 2-hydroxbenzenecarboxylic acid in a presence of phosphoric acid. AIM: The aim of the experiment is to prepare and produce aspirin as pure as possible. I will do this threw preparing the aspirin and purifying the product threw recrystallization. I will then obtain a melting point of my product to get an estimate of its purity. By the end

Lab Report Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) The Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid). Summary: In this experiment‚ we produced 4.21 g of acetylsalicylic acid. Our theoretical yield was calculated to be 5.22 g. Therefore our % yield was determined to be 80.6%. The experimental boiling point range of acetylsalicylic acid was found to be 130-132° C. The true melting point of acetylsalicylic acid is 135° C‚ therefore our percent

aspirin Intro- Aspirin is known as a pain reliever for muscle ache‚ head ache and can prevent heart attacks as well as blood clots‚ and many more things that it can help with. Aspirin is known as Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a Salicylate. Salicylates are organic acids from plants that people for hundreds of years have been used for pain reducing. Salicylic acid irritates the stomach when consumed so German scientist Felix Hoffman suggested ASA as an alternative. Aspirin is made when Acetic Anhydride

Synthesis of Aspirin Learning Goals 1. To synthesize aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. 2. To purify the crude product by Recrystallization. Introduction Most drugs are chemical compounds which are described as "organic compounds" because they are comprised primarily of the elements carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. The present experiment will be the synthesis of a familiar organic compound called aspirin. The common chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin‚ the most

ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN TABLETS The aim of this investigation is to determine the percentage by mass of aspirin aspirin present in different commercial preparations and to find out‚ which the best value is‚ using a neutralization reaction followed by a direct titration with NaOH. Chemicals Used: 100 ml of distilled water in a wash bottle 50 ml of 0.100 M NaOH 40 mL of 96% ethanol phenolphthalein as an indicator (3 drops per titration) 325 mg non buffered aspirin tablets Materials Used: One

In the 5th century B.C.‚ Hippocrates ground the bark into a powder‚ and later‚ the Natives Americans chewed on the bark to alleviate fever and pain1. In the 19th century‚ a German chemist by the name of Felix Hoffman wanted to find a medication that would ease

Experiment 2 and 3: Synthesis of Aspirin and Determination of Melting Point A. Abstract Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid‚ widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. The first part of the experiment aims to synthesize aspirin from the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the aid of phosphoric acid as a catalyst. The second part of the experiment aims to assess the purity of aspirin through the determination of its melting point and

Synthesis of Aspirin Name: Xuanyi Li Teaching assistant: Deirdre Zwilling November 15‚ 2009 Purpose: To synthesize aspirin‚ a common analgesic drug‚ via nucleophilic acid-catalyzed substitution reaction of salicyclic acid with acetic anhydride. The whole reaction is catalyzed by phosphoric acid. (The experiment involved three parts: The synthesis of aspirin‚ the isolation and purification of aspirin‚ and the estimation of the purity of the final product.) [pic] Procedure[1]: A mixture
