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

October 17 & October 24‚ 2012 How is Aspirin Made? This lab is about synthesizing aspirin using a hotplate to heat the reaction. It involved vacuum filtration‚ recrystallization‚ and comparing the properties of aspirin with salicylic aspirin. The first thing we did in this lab was make a hot-water bath by putting a beaker with water on a hot plate. After measuring out 2.1 grams of salicylic acid and 3 ml of acetic anhydride‚ we mixed the two together‚ along with 3 drops of sulfuric acid. We

Aspirin analysis Introduction Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the

unattended. The hot beakers and test tubes must be handled with care and should only be moved using tongs. Also‚ tie back long hair to prevent any accidental fire‚ and be familiar with the location of the fire extinguisher. Discussion The synthesis of aspirin demonstrated here demonstrates several relevant suggestions that should be considered in the synthesis of a substance. Firstly‚ the recrystallization of a product should be performed if possible and relevant. In most reactions‚ the amount of product

The crude product (aspirin) was purified in the last lab‚ using recrystallization‚ in which we dissolved the crude product with hot ethanol. We then added 25 mL of water until the product reformed (the solution became cloudy white) and redissolved the solid with hot ethanol. The solution was allowed to cool for a week‚ and crystals of purified solid were formed. In order to analyze this purified product‚ we determined the melting point by placing a small sample of the aspirin in a capillary tube

Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth Plant Science The question of this science fair project question is “Does Aspirin Effect Plant Growth.” This is a good question because aspirin help human get better but‚ will it help plant grow bigger. Or maybe it makes the plant grow faster? Or maybe it can make the plant not grow at all. In this science experiment I am using dieffenbachia plants. Dieffenbachia plants are usually house plants. This is great because this science experiment is being done in the

Titration- Analysis of Aspirin Tablets Objective: Determine the percentage of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) present in two different commercial tablets by titrating the solution with a base. Also determine whether the aspirin is a strong or weak acid according to the Bronsted- Lowry and Lewis theories and deduce the formula of the acid- base reaction. Independent Variable: The amount of base (NaOH) in moles that are needed to neutralize the solution. Dependent Variable: Percentage of aspirin (acetylsalicylic

Prior to the 1800’s‚ willow bark was often brewed into a tea‚ or chewed to relieve pain. While the salicylic acid is effective at reducing pain it was found to irritate the lining of the stomach. It was mostly by chance that on August 10‚ 1897 Felix Hoffmann‚ a German chemist who obtained

An organic acid however‚ is an organic compound which contains acidic properties. An ester is an example of being a derivative of these organic acids. Esters can be prepared by the reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols‚ with an inorganic acid used as a catalyst which is dubbed esterification. With o-hydrobenzoic acid‚ or salicylic
