Acetylsalicylic acid is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in aspirin and can be synthesized by the esterification reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. When heating the salicylic acid mixture in the warm water bath‚ the mixture should be removed from the bath within 8 minutes‚ to reduce the chance of the acetylsalicylic acid decomposing

final compound which I am going to look at is 4-aminobenzenecarboxylic acid. The compound is also known as 4-Aminobenzoic acid. The molecular and structural formula of the compound is C7H7NO2 which means that the compound consists of seven carbon atoms attached to seven hydrogen atoms along with one nitrogen atom and two carbon atoms attached as a carbon-oxygen double bond. The displayed formula for the 4-aminobenzenecarboxylic acid compound is shown and it shows the formula in a ring form therefore

Taki Simadiris p1 Brierly Post-lab a. If you did not wash all of the Calcium Carbonate out of the beaker and into the filter during step 5‚ would your percent yield be larger or smaller? If you do not wash all of the Calcium Carbonate out‚ then the percent yield would be smaller because there is enough calcium carbonate left in the beaker that would have attributed to the final yield. b. If you used tap water instead of DI water what do you think would happen? Why? If you used tap water‚ the coffee

The Genetics of Fast Plants Kristin Phillips Dr. Orlando April 4‚ 2014 Abstract The experiment that was being completed was the genetics of plants using Fast Plants. The purpose of this project was to understand Mendel’s concept of a Dihybrid by performing similar crosses and calculated the phenotypes that are displayed. This project was conducted over many weeks by planting F1 seed and waiting for them to grow then cross-pollinating the F1 plants to produce the F2 seeds. Next students

GRAM STAINING EXPERIMENT CONDUCTED ON 9/29/2013 Introduction: The Gram stain is a useful stain for identifying and classifying bacteria. The Gram stain is a differential stain that allows you to classify bacteria as either gram positive or gram negative. This gram stain technique was discovered by Hans Christina Gram in 1884. The gram stain procedure separates all bacteria into one of two groups - into gram-negative bacteria which do not stain purple and into gram-positive

effect of citric and buffered lactic acids on the flavour of hard-boiled sweets and the effect of acids on various flavours in high temperature applications. Introduction Materials and Methods An amount of water‚ sugar and glucose syrup of 30g‚ 100g and 70g were weighed respectively into a stainless steel pot. The mixture was then heated and removed immediately from the induction cooker after reaching the desired temperature of 145˚C. Flavours of 0.51g and acid of 1.20g was added immediately afterwards

Cells rely on processes such as cellular respiration and fermentation in order to produce ATP through a series of steps. There are two different types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation in humans and alcohol fermentation in yeast and bacteria. All of these processes synthesize ATP‚ however‚ unlike respiration‚ both types of fermentation occur when oxygen is not present. In addition‚ each process undergoes a critical first

Chemistry Lab Report on standardization of acid and bases. Purpose: To prepare standardize solution of sodium hydroxide and to determine the concentration of unknown sulfuric acid solution. Data and Calculations: This experiment is divided into two parts (Part A and Part B). In the first part of experiment‚ the standardize solution of sodium hydroxide is prepared by titrating it with base Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). The indicator Phenolphthalein is used to determine that whether titration

Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most prevalent microorganisms found on the human skin and in the mucous membranes‚ however‚ it is a typically overlooked bacterium because there is very little that is known about it. Though it is not as aggressive as its cousin Staphylococcus aureus‚ Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most frequent cause for nosocomial pathogens‚ especially among newborns‚ the elderly‚ and anyone who has a compromised immune system. These infections are usually associated
