Color impurities present in the solid acetaminophen will be removed and then the decolorized product will be collected on a Büchner funnel for further purification by crystallization. Purity will then be determined by melting point. Introduction: Acetaminophen is commonly used as an analgesic to reduce pain and fever. In this experiment it is prepared by the reaction of p-aminophenol with acetic anhydride‚ as illustrated below. Results: Isolation of crude acetaminophen The

------------------------------------------------- MELTING POINT AND BOILING POINT OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The melting point (MP) and the boiling point (BP) are probably the most widely used physical constant in the field of science. Determining the boiling point and the melting point of a compound helps you to characterize an unknown solid in a quick‚ easy and cheap way. The temperature at which a compound turns from a solid state to a liquid state is known to be the melting point. On

ago. My wide spread use over the course of human existence is the very reason that no one knows who discovered me. I belong to the group of elements called the transition metal group. I have several oxidation states and I also have a very high melting point which is around 1337.33 Kelvin. That is very high‚ in Fahrenheit it is 1947.92 degrees and in Celsius it is 1064.18 degrees. I am also paramagnetic‚ which means that I have very weak attractions to magnetic forces and can only be attracted when

ABSTRACT Determining the melting point of a solid organic compound is the easiest way to identify the compound and determine its purity at the same time. For actual samples of compounds‚ the melting will occur over a range of temperatures making the melting points into a melting “range”. The difference between the temperature at which the sample begins to melt and the temperature at which it finishes melting‚ or the magnitude of the melting range‚ is a very important criteria of determining the

After sublimation the weight of pure caffeine was .0027g‚ making the percent recovery of caffeine after sublimation .12%. The percent recovery of caffeine is less in the second half of the experiment because the crude caffeine had some impurities in it which were taken out by the process of sublimation. The average cup of black tea has about .014g to .07g of pure caffeine in it (MayoClinic
