Today‚ aspirin is one of the most widely used medication on this Earth and has been since its popular breakout in the late 1890s. Long before we were born there was no such thing of a medication called aspirin. Instead‚ ancient people used willow leaves and bark from trees to help relieve oneself from pain and fevers. Aspirin as we come to know it in the form of an acetylsalicylic acid‚ was introduced to the world by Chemist Felix Hoffmann who was working at Bayer pharmaceutical company located in

in the first part of the lab; when we have to produce crystals of aspirin. Analysis is the separation‚ identification‚ and quantification of the chemical components of natural and artificial materials. This concept is used throughout the lab when we are analyzing different reactions that are happing during the duration of the lab. The goal of this lab is to synthesize a sample of acetylsalicylic acid‚ otherwise known as aspirin. This is the most important goal of the lab. This‚ however‚ has side

Experiment 2 and 3: Synthesis of Aspirin and Determination of Melting Point A. Abstract Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid‚ widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. The first part of the experiment aims to synthesize aspirin from the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the aid of phosphoric acid as a catalyst. The second part of the experiment aims to assess the purity of aspirin through the determination of its melting point and

Preparation and melting point of Aspirin Aspirin is a painkilling drug and is produced worldwide to reduce and stop pain. Aspirin is made up of ehtanoylation of 2-hydroxbenzenecarboxylic acid in a presence of phosphoric acid. AIM: The aim of the experiment is to prepare and produce aspirin as pure as possible. I will do this threw preparing the aspirin and purifying the product threw recrystallization. I will then obtain a melting point of my product to get an estimate of its purity. By the end of the experiment

Abstract For the amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet to be determined‚ different solutions of acetylsalicylic acid mixed with NaOH were created at different concentrations. All the different solutions were then analysed using Novaspec photometer‚ which allowed for a graph to be created and a line of best fit to be made. The amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet was found to be 350mg. Introduction The molecular formula for aspirin‚ also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is C9H8O4. It is most

Synthesis of Aspirin Name: Xuanyi Li Teaching assistant: Deirdre Zwilling November 15‚ 2009 Purpose: To synthesize aspirin‚ a common analgesic drug‚ via nucleophilic acid-catalyzed substitution reaction of salicyclic acid with acetic anhydride. The whole reaction is catalyzed by phosphoric acid. (The experiment involved three parts: The synthesis of aspirin‚ the isolation and purification of aspirin‚ and the estimation of the purity of the final product.) [pic] Procedure[1]: A mixture
