Within this experiment‚ Acetaminophen will be formed through the reaction between p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. This reaction will incur Acetaminophen as a crude solid being impure‚ which will be purified further through the use of a recrystallization technique. The purification process involves dissolving a solid and recrystallizing as a crystal solid from the solution. The process is follow by heating the crude solid to dissolve using a minimal amount of solvent‚

solid C were both extracted from unknown solution by first using chemically active liquid-liquid extract‚ followed by vacuum filtration. Liquid C and solid C were then purified with the use of simple distillation and recrystallization respectively. Through the process of recrystallization‚ the percentage purity of solid C was found to be 6.01%. The melting point range of purified solid C was 117.0 – 119.0C while the boiling point of liquid C was found to be 117C. The identity of solid C and liquid

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

tin tetraiodide. Tin tetraiodide was recrystallized after the synthesis. The percent yield and the theoretical yield of tin tetraiodide were calculated. Recrystallization is to further improve the purity of tin tetraiodide. The solvent is carefully chosen to be toluene in order to maximize the recovery of tin tetraiodide during recrystallization. Experimental method1 Approximately 2.50g iodide and 1.01g tin were weighed on a balance and were placed in an Erlenmeyer flask. Approximately 10ml

acetaminophen does not result in a pure product‚ so recrystallization is necessary to purify the substance. During recrystallization‚ it is important to dissolve all of the solid in order to remove all the impurities. Acetaminophen crystallizes slowly‚ so cooling the mixture adequately is necessary. Leaving the mixture in an ice bath for ten minutes ensures that the process is complete. Drying the crystals removes any remaining solvent. Once recrystallization has occured‚ comparison by melting point confirms

Abstract Chemically active extraction was used to separate two unknown compounds from each other and to determine what compound class each compound belongs. The solid unknown was purified by recrystallization and its melting point range was determined to be 109-111°C. The liquid unknown was purified by simple distillation and its boiling point was determined to be 95°C. An IR spectrum was collected for each of the purified compounds; the solid was determined to be 3-toluic acid and the liquid was

ABSTRACT The purpose if the experiment was to extract the Trimyristan from ground nutmeg using extraction‚ distillation and recrystallization procedures. This experiment involves extraction and separation techniques that yield a purified product. The product was extracted and a distillation process was used to remove any remaining solvent. The recrystallization of the sample in turn produced a pure sample‚ which was proven using the known melting points of the isolated product. Our outcome
