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

SYNTHESIS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL ASPIRIN (ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID) AIM: The aim for this experiment was to synthesise a small amount of aspirin with salicylic acid as the starting product and sulphuric acid as the catalyst. The product obtained from this reaction will be impure and will need to be purified. This will be done by recrystallization. We will then record the products’ melting point and calculate the yield in order to determine the degree of purity of the aspirin sample. Diagrammatic scheme for

DATE PERFORMED: JULY 20‚ 2007 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR A REACTION ABSTRACT UV-VIS spectrophotometry is one of the most widely-used methods for determining and identifying many inorganic species. During this experiment‚ this spectrophotometry was used to determine the equilibrium constant‚ Keq‚ of the Fe3+(aq)+SCN-(aq)↔ FeSCN2+(aq) reaction. By determining the amount of light absorbed‚ the concentration of the colored FeSCN2+ solution was also quantitatively

Performance Liquid Chromatography Analysis of Aspirin Problem: Was aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) successfully synthesized? Are there impurities or by-products present in the synthesized aspirin? How pure is the synthesized aspirin? Introduction: In the last experiment‚ aspirin was synthesized followed by characterization of the product using several different techniques. Melting point was a test that provided information about the identity and purity of the aspirin product. The iron(III)chloride

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

Determining the Percentage of 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic Acid in an Aspirin Tablet Introduction and Aim: An Aspirin tablet is an analgesic; therefore the purpose is to relieve pain and due to it also being an antipyretic its other tenacity is to lower the body temperature. An experiment was carried out on the basis of calculating the percentage of 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic Acid in aspirin tablets hence 4 commercial tablets were taken to determine its purity using a known volume of standard sodium
