The Synthesis of Organic Aspirin ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to find out how a reaction undergoes for a globally known painkiller called aspirin‚ and to become familiar with achieving successful yields. Aspirin is synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Those two chemicals are mixed together along with sulfuric acid to form a crude solid. Filtration is used separate the impurities from the crude aspirin. To get purified aspirin‚ the precipitate was heated until all

UV spectroscopic method with single-beam UV or double-beam UV. Spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength. It is more specific than the general term electromagnetic spectroscopy in that spectrophotometry deals with visible light‚ near-ultraviolet‚ and near-infrared‚ but does not cover time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Spectrophotometry involves the use of a spectrophotometer. A spectrophotometer is

The purpose of our experiment was to synthesize aspirin from acetyl anhydride‚ salicylic acid‚ and sulfuric acid. And then determine the relative purity of the synthesized sample. The procedure performed in our experiment involved chemically reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in order to form acetyl

Aspirin Background Aspirin Aspirin‚ or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a salicylate drug‚ and is generally used as an analgesic (something that relieves pain without producing anaesthesia or loss of consciousness) for minor aches and pains‚ to reduce fever (an antipyretic)‚ and also as an anti-inflammatory drug. Aspirin works by prohibiting biological substances such as prostaglandins. Many different prostaglandins exist in the human body each serving a plethora of physical functions.

2005 September 23‚ 2005 OBJECTIVES The objective of this lab experiment is to prepare aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. INTRODUCTION This purpose of this lab was to prepare aspirin using its basic components: salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Salicylic acid and acetic anhydride‚ along with an acid catalyst‚ react to form acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid. In this reaction‚ the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid

Nowadays‚ aspirin is often given to patients immediately after a heart attack to prevent recurrence or cardiac tissue death. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs are medications with analgesic‚ antipyretic (something that reduces a fever)‚ and in higher doses anti-inflammatory effects. Non-steroidal

wool is dissolved in 200.00 ml of 1.00 M sulfuric acid. The excess sulfuric acid is determined by titration with a 0.500 M sodium hydroxide solution. 300.00 mL of sodium hydroxide is required to neutralise the acid. What was the % purity of iron in steel wool? Question 2 A 3.145 g sample of a certain lead ore containing lead(II) carbonate‚ PbCO3‚ was heated gently with 25.00 mL of nitric acid of concentration 0.6293 mol/L.

Symone E. MoxeyLab Partner: Lynden Cooper Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract:- Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is produced experimentally in the lab. The resulting percentage yield is 65.5%. The purity of the obtained product is tested using the melting point and Ferric Chloride Test (FCT). The aspirin was massed‚ and the melting point was determined. Based on the data collected‚ there was a total yield of 1.757g of purified aspirin‚ which had a melting point range of 125°C-130°C.
