PREPARATION OF ASPIRIN AND DETERMINATION OF THE MELTING POINT Ferrer‚ Lara Melissa V. Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas Manila‚ Philippines ABSTRACT This experiment involved three steps: synthesis of aspirin‚ isolation and purification‚ and the estimation of purity of the final product. The synthesis involved the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst‚ phosphoric acid‚ H3PO4. When the aspirin was prepared‚ it was isolated and filtered. The percentage

Determination of Rate and Order of a Reaction Results This experiment used a spectrometer to find the wavelength with maximum absorbance in a green food coloring solution. For this particular solution the wavelength was 629.7 nm. The system was then calibrated to that and was set to measure the food coloring and bleach solution. The measured visible light absorbance of the mixed solution was collected over a time of 200 seconds and eight points were then selected and placed into the Absorbance

DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN C CONTENT IN COMMERCIAL (CENOVIS) TABLET ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ the vitamin C content of a commercial tablet is determined and compared with the manufacturers’ specification. Vitamin C is water-soluble and is an enantiomer of ascorbic acid. (Commercial vitamin C is often a mixture of ascorbic acid and other ascorbates.) Ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6‚ is a reducing agent that reacts rapidly with iodine (I2). As the iodine is added during the titration‚ the ascorbic acid is

ABSTRACT The average concentration of CaCO3 obtained was 212 ppm‚ with a standard deviation of 1 ppt. The results indicate that the unk B tap water can be considered as hard water. INTRODUCTION Hard water is due to metal ions (minerals) that are dissolved in the ground water. These minerals include Ca 2+‚ Mg2+‚ Fe3+‚ SO42-‚ HCO3-. When this water evaporates or boils‚ the difficult to dissolve metal salts remain as a scaly residue. Hard water inhibits the effectiveness of soap and detergents

1.0 Title Determination of Protein Content Using Kjedahl and Titration 2.0 Introduction Proteins are polymers. They are the source of dietary amino acids and are used for growth and maintenance of living systems. They are costlier sources of energy compared to carbohydrates and fats and hence the human body utilizes proteins mainly for biosynthesis rather than as an energy source‚ though the energy yield is 5 kcal/g of protein. Twenty different types of amino acids occur naturally in proteins

Background Knowledge of the dissolved oxygen (O2) concentration in seawater is often necessary in environmental and marine science. It may be used by physical oceanographers to study water masses in the ocean. It provides the marine biologist with a means of measuring primary production - particularly in laboratory cultures. For the marine chemist‚ it provides a measure of
