Premium Acetic anhydride Acetic acid Aspirin
Aspirin or acetylsalicylate acid is a compound that is widely used in medicine. The use of aspirin in medicine began long before the active reagent was removed from its natural source. The first documented use of aspirin was found in the writings of Hippocrates‚ the so called father of medicine. Hippocrates prescribed that willow bark could be used to remedy a wide range of conditions such as pain‚ fever and inflammation. Scientists began to seek to extract the active compound from willow tree bark

ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN TABLETS The aim of this investigation is to determine the percentage by mass of aspirin aspirin present in different commercial preparations and to find out‚ which the best value is‚ using a neutralization reaction followed by a direct titration with NaOH. Chemicals Used: 100 ml of distilled water in a wash bottle 50 ml of 0.100 M NaOH 40 mL of 96% ethanol phenolphthalein as an indicator (3 drops per titration) 325 mg non buffered aspirin tablets Materials Used: One

Sample Short Lab Report By Charles M Borener Jr April 24‚ 2009 Kinetic Friction Experiment #13 Joe Solution E00123456 Partner - Jane Answers PHY 221 Lab Instructor – Chuck Borener Thursday‚ 11 AM – 1 PM Lecture Instructor – Dr. Jacobs Abstract In this experiment‚ we test factors which effect friction. We pulled a wood block across a surface to determine whether the surface area of the block or the type of surface effects friction. We found that the surface area of the block did not change

(3 points) Score 1. How do you calculate magnification on a microscope? Answer: The shortest lens is the scanning objective; you use it to locate the object on the slide. The medium-length lens is the low-power objective. The longest lens is the high-power objective. Multiplying the power of the eyepiece

1. Aim To determine the percentage of aspirin in different commercial preparations and to find which is the best value for money 2. Hypothesis The greater the percentage of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in the tablet‚ more powerful and efficient the aspirin would be due to the way aspirin works in human’s body. Aspirin is often used to alleviate the pain‚ and the sensation of pain is mainly attributed to a chemical substance called prostaglandins‚ which is responsible to send a strong signal

Leila Espinal Grade 8 O.L.C.A. November 20‚ 2013 Lab Report 1. Problem: To find the density of a Hershey chocolate bar. 2. Hypothesis: I think the chocolate bar will gradually decrease in density as it gets smaller. 3: Materials: 1 whole Hershey chocolate bar‚ ruler‚ triple balance beam‚ tray‚ calculator. 4. Procedure: First‚ find the mass‚ volume‚ and density of an entire Hershey Bar. Then‚ systematically‚ break off one section at a time to calculate the

Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction

Lab Report 1: Natural Selection Introduction: In today’s lab we learned how natural selection and survival of the fitness took place in Darwin theory by testing it out with four different utensils which were Spoon‚ Fork‚ chopstick‚ and clothespin which represent the four different types of bird beaks. Our goal was to see which one utensil ( bird beak) would outcome the other four utensil ( bird beak) by being able to survive with the limit amount of food‚ the environmental chances‚ and see who
