Separating the Components of "Panacetin" Submitted- July 17‚ 2012 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to investigate the composition of a compound suspected to be Panacetin‚ a type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen‚ but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as extraction‚ evaporation‚ and filtration

to detect the concentrations of acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ and caffeine respectively. There was found to be 4.03±0.144mg/100mL of acetaminophen‚ 11.5±0.185mg/100mL of aspirin‚ and 4.89±0.185mg/100mL of caffeine. Based on accepted values‚ the maximum daily amounts of each compound are 4000mg of acetaminophen‚ 520mg of caffeine‚ and 400mg of aspirin. Introduction This experiment was performed to determine the concentrations of acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ and caffeine in the unknown sample 529. High

objective of this experiment was to analyze analgesic tablets by TLC to determine what analgesics they contain. The analgesics that could be in the tablets included ibuprofen‚ acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ and caffeine. Through the use of TLC‚ unknown substance #62 was found to be Bayer Aspirin because it only contained aspirin. II. Introduction: 1. Briefly describe the process of Thin Layer Chromatography. Make it clear in the discussion what the stationary and mobile phases are and how they work together

Extraction and Evaporation & Identifying a Constituent of “Panacetin” Recrystallization& Melting-Point Measurement Organic Chemistry Lab Introduction: Panacetin purportedly includes sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen. However‚ the accuracy of Panacetin’s contents has been called into question by the Association for Safe Pharmaceuticals. Therefore‚ the lab must discover the accuracy of the ingredients listed on Panacetin’s label. The

is done by using a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate and filter paper. The word ‘chromatography’ itself means the separation of colours. However‚ nowadays‚ both coloured and colourless compound are used in chromatography by various methods. In chromatography‚ the separation process of mixture is mainly based upon the polarity and molecular weight of sample. Then‚ the separation involves mobile phase and stationary phase. The mixture to be separated is applied to an immovable solid surface‚ which

As a result‚ the TLC analysis of Biogesic® yields the following Rf values where the given distance from origin to solvent front measures 59 mm: 1.) acetaminophen has a Rf value of 0.48; 2.) aspirin has a Rf value of 0.64; 3.) caffeine has a Rf value of 0.22; 4.) Biogesic® sample has a Rf value of 0.48 ; 5.) ibuprofen has a Rf value of 0.73; and 6.) mefenamic Acid has a Rf value of 0.76. Thus‚ the study shows that by having equal Rf values of

Components of BC Powder Introduction Aspirin‚ Caffeine and Salicylamide were extracted from an over-the-counter pain reliever (BC Powder). These components were separated by manipulating their solubilities by adjusting the acidity and basicity of the solution. By doing this‚ the three components were forced into conjugate acid (or base) forms‚ causing selective solubility in either an aqueous or organic solvent. These layers were then separated by use of a separation funnel. Once separated‚ the components

Title: Thin-Layer Chromatography Objectives: Part1: 1. To learn the technique of TLC and the visualization of colourless components. 2. To identify an unknown drug by a TLC comparison with standard compounds. Part 2: To learn the separation technique by using Thin Layer Chromatography plate in separating a mixture of compounds into individual pure compound by using Spinach Leaf.

be present in your sample of Panacetin (aspirin‚ acetanilide‚ and starch)‚ only starch is insoluble in the organic solvent dichloromethane (or methylene chloride)‚ CH2 Cl2. If a sample of Panacetin is dissolved as completely as possible in dichloromethane‚ the insoluble starch can be filtered out‚ leaving acetanilide and aspirin in solution. The purpose of this experiment is to extract the components of Panacetin. Although the acetanilide and aspirin are both quite insoluble in water at room
