Synthesis of Aspirin and Tylenol Kyla Wykoff Abstract Aspirin and Tylenol were synthesized by means of crystallization‚ recrystallization‚ and melting point determination. Synthesis produced significantly high percent yields for aspirin‚ however‚ produced extremely low and impure percent yields for Tylenol. A second group was also used to compare results and errors‚ in which they too were also producing extremely low percent yields of Tylenol. Therefore‚ error was based on the specific protocol

DNA and the Gene: Synthesis and Repair 1) Watson and Crick elucidated the structure of DNA in 1953. Their research built on and helped explain the findings of other scientists‚ including ________. A) X-ray diffraction studies by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. B) Chargaff’s rules: C = G and T = A. C) Scientists who recognized that a nucleotide consisted of a sugar‚ a phosphate‚ and a nitrogen-containing base. D) All of the above were important considerations in the elucidation of

Synthesis of Acetanilide By: Rick Whitely April 9‚ 2013 Organic Chemistry Lab 1; Professor J. Hutchison Recrystallization is a common method of purifying organic substances through the differences in solubility at different temperature. In this experiment‚ acetanilide was produced by acetylation of aniline with acetic anhydride. The crude acetanilide was dissolved in a solvent in a heated water bath. The solution was cooled slowly in an ice bath as crystals form out. As the compound crystallizes

the beaker. The beaker was then heated on a hotplate until near boiling. After the whey protein had precipitated‚ a vacuum filter was used to filter out the whey. These proteins were then air-dried. A qualitative test was done to indicate that the sample extracted was the protein whey. Again‚ a small test tube was used and 2 mL of protein test solution was put in the tube. Five drops of 10% NaOH and 2 drops of 0.5% CuSO4 were added to this tube. If a purple color showed‚ it would indicate there was

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters‚ like isopentyl acetate‚ are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate‚ esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment‚ the excess reagent is acetic acid because it
