Purity of Aspirin by Spectrophotometry Aim: i. To measure the absorbance of different volumes of sodium salicylate solutions and aspirin with iron chloride ii. To find the concentration of each standard solutions iii. To determine percentage purity of aspirin. Abstract: The mass of acetylsalicylic acid was determined using a analytical balance. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added to the acetylsalicylic acid and heated in order to hydrolyze acetylsalicylic acid. Iron chloride was added to

Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to synthesize aspirin. In this experiment aspirin‚ also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ was synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In the reaction the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacted with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. This method of forming acetylsalicylic acid is an esterification reaction. Since this esterification reaction is not spontaneous‚ sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst to initiate

An aqueous solution of KCl is colorless‚ KMnO4 is purple‚ and K2Cr2O7 is orange. What color would you expect of an aqueous solution of Na2Cr2O7? Explain. Orange. 3. Explain why hexane will dissolve benzene but will not dissolve sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. 4. Some drinks like tea are consumed hot or cold‚ whereas others like Coca-Cola are consumed only cold. Why? For taste reasons‚ these drinks can be drunk if the user likes It but having coca cola like tea would

to synthesise pure aspirin using chemical tests such as esterification and recrystallization independently and to also find out the melting point range of aspirin using melting point determination. INTRODUCTION Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is one of the commonly used and widely found in any drugstore or pharmacy. Its properties make aspirin a well-rounded drug that reduces inflammation and fever and also relieves pain. The active ingredient in aspirin was found to be salicylic

| Determining the melting point of aspirin • Firstly we turned on the melting point equipment; we referred to data tables for the actual value for the melting point of the aspirin. • Then we arranged the equipment to a point below the expected melting point we then noted that the rate of heating will influence the reading of the melting point. • Afterward we dipped the sealed capillary tube provided into the sample of our aspirin prepared until we got sufficient depth (about

Making Sodium Chloride Equipment: Method: 1. Firstly‚ safety measures were taken by putting on laboratory coats‚ wearing safety goggles and tying long hair back. This was to protect clothing‚ eyes and to avoid burning as the experiment included dealing with open flames. 2. The equipment needed (as shown and labelled in picture A) was collected. 3. Using a measuring cylinder for each‚ to be exact with measurements‚ we measured out 10cm³ of HCl and 10cm³

to be 1.43 x 10-3‚ as shown in Equation 3. The purified aspirin product was a white powder that had a weight of .140 g. The number of moles of the purified aspirin product after extraction was 7.77 x 10-4 as shown in Equation 4. These two moles calculated a chemical yield of 54.3% as shown in Equation 5. The melting point of the pure aspirin product was ranged at 117.8-125.2C as shown in Table 1. An infrared spectrum for the pure aspirin from the synthesis was taken by using crushed crystals

report discussing the purity of my aspirin sample I produced. When I carried out the experiment to produce an aspirin sample I had to take a few results I had gained from carrying out the experiment later used these to work out the experimental error and percentage % yield. The results I used where the published value of what temperature pure aspirin melts at‚ the temperature my aspirin sample melted at‚ the weight of pure aspirin and the weight of impure aspirin. Firstly I worked out the experimental
