    effects for some people‚ yet it is safe enough to be sold without a prescription. Because it is easy to prepare‚ aspirin is one of the most inexpensive drugs available. It is produced in vast amounts. In fact‚ industry makes 43‚000‚000 pounds of the drug every year. This microscale experiment will permit you to make an amount of aspirin equivalent to about 1/2 of that found in an aspirin tablet. Purpose: To synthesize acetylsalicylic acid on a microscale basis. Equipment / Materials: |salicylic

    objective was to convert a specific amount of salicylic acid into the same amount of aspirin that was high in purity. Furthermore‚ the other objectives were to enable students to conduct the synthesis of aspirin‚ reinforce skills or recrystallisation and the technique of melting point determination. The amount of each compound should be the same because there is a 1:1 ratio between them. The purity of the synthesized aspirin was measured by determining its melting point and percent yield. Soluble impurities

    Synthesis of Aspirin Learning Goals 1. To synthesize aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. 2. To purify the crude product by Recrystallization. Introduction Most drugs are chemical compounds which are described as "organic compounds" because they are comprised primarily of the elements carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen.  The present experiment will be the synthesis of a familiar organic compound called aspirin. The common chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin‚ the most

    Once the aspirin is prepared‚ it is isolated from the reaction solution and then it is purified. The aspirin is insoluble in cold water‚ and it is isolated by filtering the chilled reaction solution. Purification is essential to remove any unreacted salicylic acid and acetic anhydride as well as the acetic acid product and phosphoric acid. Acetic anhydride is caused to decompose by the addition of water once the formation of aspirin is complete. C4H6O3 (Acetic anhydride) + H2O (Water) ------------------------->

    Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to learn how to use salicylic acid to make aspirin. Aspirin is the most widely used over-the-counter drug in the world. The average tablet contains about 325 milligrams of acetylsalicylic acid with an inert binding material such as starch. Aspirin is used to relieve pain‚ reduce inflammation‚ and lower fever. Aspirin originally was derived by boiling the bark of the white willow tree. Although the salicin in willow bark has analgesic properties‚ purified

    Preparation of an Ester Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) OBJECTIVE: To become familiar with the techniques and principle of esterification. DISCUSSION: Aspirin is a drug widely used as an antipyretic agent (to reduce fever)‚ as an analgesic agent (to reduce pain)‚ and/or as an anti-inflammatory agent (to reduce redness‚ heat or swelling in tissues). Chemically‚ aspirin is an ester. Esters are the products of reaction of acids with alcohols‚ as shown in the following equation using
