Absorbance of Non-diabetic and Diabetic “Blood Samples” In the experiment‚ I tested the blood glucose level of diabetic and non-diabetic people every 30 minutes starting from right before a meal was eaten up until two hours. I did this by measuring the amount of light absorbed by the solutions through a spectrophotometer. By doing so I found that for diabetics the maximum blood glucose increased more quickly than non-diabetics‚ which increased and decreased at a steady rate. With this information

filtered and air dried to yield 0.45 g of sucrose (15.0 % of original Panacetin). Isolation of Aspirin: The organic filtrate was extracted through a separatory funnel with 32 mL 5% sodium bicarbonate to produce an aqueous layer and a dichloromethane layer. 7.2 mL 6 M hydrochloric acid were added to the aqueous layer until the pH was 2. The mixture was then cooled in an ice/water bath for 10 minutes. The aspirin was collected by vacuum filtration. After it dried‚ it yielded 0.93 g (30.9 % of original Panacetin)

The Power of Purity A vision in white surrounded by the air of purity and near divinity was the image of a Vestal virgin. These women became synonymous with the eternal existence and safety of Rome. The representation of influence‚ devotion‚ and power were characteristics of these six women who sacrificed their sexuality and family cults to serve the Goddess Vesta and to profit from the advantages that such devotion earned. The life of a Vestal virgin was unlike that of any other Roman woman with

Extracting NaCl from Rock Salt and assessing its purity Aim The aim of this experiment was to obtain a pure product from a solution through the processes o extraction‚ filtering and evaporation. Introduction Extraction is used when trying to separate or purify a product. For an extraction to be successful the substance used to make the solvent should readily dissolve. The substance used in this practical was rock salt. The liquid used should not react with the substance that needs extracting

Conclusion Micromeritic properties refer to science and technology of small particles. The study of particle size and the arrangement of particles are of significant importance as it affects the physical‚ chemical and pharmacologic properties of a drug. Also‚ it is important for not only manufacturing and packaging but also quality control from raw material to final product uniformity. The science of micromeritic involves the study of particle size‚ size distribution‚ flow properties and bulkiness

Acid (ASA or Aspirin) Background Salicylic acid is a phenol as well as a carboxylic acid. It can therefore undergo two different types of esterification reactions‚ creating an ester either with the hydroxyl or with the acid. In the presence of acetic anhydride‚ acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin or ASA) is formed. Correspondingly‚ an excess of methanol will form methyl salicylate‚ which is also an analgesic. In this experiment‚ we shall use the former reaction to prepare aspirin. Salicylic

coursework I have been investigating the synthesis of Aspirin and checking for presence and purity of Aspirin. Throughout this coursework we have looked at the history of Aspirin; industrial manufacturing; making salicylic acid; the preparation of Aspirin; recrystallization and purity; melting point; thin layer chromatography (TLC) and titration of Aspirin. I’ve learned a lot about Aspirin‚ how it works and how it is made. We found out that the Aspirin we made and used was actually very pure when we

Synthesis of Aspirin Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize a common organic product called acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)‚ and to become familiar with the optimum conditions needed for successful yields. Aspirin is produced from an acid catalyzed reaction between salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. The crystalline aspirin is synthesized and purified by recrystallization‚ although there is not a hundred percent yield due to sources of error. Introduction Aspirin is a medicine

experiment was designed to investigate and compare the rates at which different aspirin tablets dissolve in both Water (H2O [representing saliva]) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCl [representing the stomach’s acid]). The amount of Water and Hydrochloric Acid will be kept constant between tablets‚ and tests. Aim To investigate and compare the rates at which different Aspirin Tablets dissolve.

Experimental Synthesis of Aspirin and Melting Point Purity Analysis Donald Yeargin CH 222‚ Section 24221 Department of Chemistry Portland Community College Portland‚ OR Abstract The various methods available to synthesize aspirin lead to the need to examine and evaluate production efficiency and purity. The purpose of our experiment was to synthesize acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and then determine the relative purity of the synthesized sample by observing the melting point temperature
