Analysis – Synthesising Aspirin results After recrystallisation differences between the crude and purified aspirin were noted. The impure (crude) aspirin was powered and fluffy with small clumps and was slightly yellow in colour whereas the pure aspirin has a less fluffy crystalline powder and was whiter. This showed distinct differences in the two substances but similarities were also apparent showing aspirin‚ in some level‚ was created. Before recrystallisation the crude aspirin could of included

Lab #4 The Synthesis of Organic Polymers CHM2123‚ Section C October 21‚ 2014 Introduction: Organic polymers are macromolecules that are composed of smaller molecules called monomers. There are two main groups of polymers: natural polymers and unnatural (synthetic) polymers. Natural polymers include proteins such as cellulose and starch and are a necessity for our existence. On the other hand‚ synthetic polymers such as the polycarbonate in our lab goggles

FOUNDATION IN SCIENCE INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY – MAKING AND PURIFYING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Stage 1 – Deciding how much reagent to use Most organic reactions do not go to completion; most reach an equilibrium position with significant quantities of reactants still remaining. In addition‚ separating the desired product from the rest of the reaction mixture‚ and then purifying it‚ will result in the loss of more of the product. The amount of product obtained expressed as a percentage

Trends in the Periodic table March 24‚ 2013 Four trends that will be covered: Atomic size Ionization Energy Electronegativity Electron Affinity Each of these has a group trend and a period trend A group trend refers to what is happening with the atom as you travel up or down a column of the periodic table. A period trend refers to what is happening with the atom as you move left or right across a row of the periodic table Atomic Size When discussing an atom’s size‚ usually the

Safety Precautions for Synthesis of Acetic Anhydride Acetic Anhydride Acetic anhydride is an irritant and also flammable‚ therefore gloves and goggles should be worn at all times during the experiment. It is reactive to water‚ so in the case of fire‚ alcohol foam or carbon dioxide is preferred to use as an extinguisher. This chemical has harmful fumes and use of a fume hood is strongly recommended. Sulphuric and Salicylic Acid These acids may irritate the skin in high concentrations. Take

took my first chemistry class I became mesmerized with the field of chemistry. The idea that I could start with one molecule and change it into a completely different compound both fascinated and thrilled me. I was at a predicament‚ on one hand I wanted to study medicine to help people‚ but I was far more interested in and passionate about the chemical processes and reactions. This changed when I took my first organic chemistry class. I want to make a career by applying chemistry to medicine and

Commercial Aspirin Tablet Analysis Tuesday Evening Intro: The purpose of this lab was to analyze commercial aspirin tablets. To do so‚ the percent acetylsalicyclic acid (active ingredient) in tablets using acid-base titration was determined‚ the percent acetylsalicyclic acid in tablets by formation of a colored iron(III)-salicylate complex was determined using spectrometry‚ and then the percents from each process was compared. Acetylsalicylic acid is produced when salicylic acid and acetic
