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

Purpose The purpose of this lab is to find the boiling point of the liquid and find the melting point of the solid. Procedure Boiling point: To find the boiling point of Isopropyl Alcohol I put about 1 mL of it in the test tube. Then I attached the thermometer to the test tube with a rubber band(make sure the thermometer bulb is lined up with the end of the test tube). After that I made a water bath with a beaker and put in the test tube with the thermometer. I then used a burner and a burner stand

Experiment 2&3 Recrystallization and Melting Points Determinantion of Benzoic Acid Abstract In experiment 2‚ recrystallization was used to purify the crude benzoic acid extracted from a mixture during experiment 1. Then a percent recovery for this recrystallization process was calculated. In experiment 3‚ the melting point ranges of the crude and purified benzoic acid were both determined by using Melt Temp Apparatus. Introduction Recrystallization is a purification technique for non-volatile

1: MELTING POINT AND BOILING POINTS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ABSTRACT The properties of organic compounds depend on their chemical structures. Intermolecular forces of attraction affect physical properties such as melting and boiling point. Through the Thomas Hoover apparatus‚ the melting point of 8 test compounds was determined. Salicylic acid exhibited the highest melting point while naphthalene‚ the lowest. The stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction‚ the higher the melting point. Boiling

Boiling Point Lab Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to learn about the calibration of a thermometer. In addition‚ we also investigated the boiling point of an unknown liquid to determine its identity. Chemical Responsibility: 1. Make sure to use glycerine (lubricant) and a towel to safely insert the thermometer into the rubber stopper. 2. Carefully operate the Bunsen burner and make sure to use rubber gloves when handling the boiling water of beaker 3. Always wear goggles

Spectroscopy‚ Boiling point and Melting point. Introduction: - Infrared spectroscopy has also made a break though in medicine. It used to evaluate the kidney stone diseases thus broadening the use of IR in different ways. The purpose of this lab experiment is to identify the unknown solutions using the Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)‚ boiling point‚ and melting point (1). The IR helps to determine the compounds such as a functional group. In order to analyze the compound‚ IR and melting point work the best together

The objective of this lab was to identify an unknown compound by determining the melting point range using fast and slow ramps. Also‚ to determine the eutectic point of Urea and Cinnamic Acid. An unknown compound that was numbered 8 was chosen. A small amount of the unknown compound was placed in a weighing paper using a spatula. The weighing paper was folded in half twice and then was grinded using a spatula. After the unknown compound was grinded about 1-2mm was added into a capillary tube. A

is done by observing the melting point. This is important because if there is an impure substance the melting point would be depression and the melting range would be broader. By finding the melting point of a known substance one can then observe an unknown substance’s melting point to see if the points are the same and try to figure out the unknown. Experimental Section: The first known substance we used was Biphenyl. 68 degrees Celsius is the known melting point. We used the capillary method
