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

IB1 Chemistry Practical #8 ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN TABLETS For a long time the bark of the willow tree (salix alba) was used as a traditional medicine to relieve the fever symptoms of malaria. In the 1860’s chemists showed that the active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) and by 1870 salicylic acid was in wide use as a pain killer (analgesic) and fever depressant (antipyretic). However‚ because it is a relatively strong acid‚ salicylic acid has the undesirable side effect

The article I chose is called‚ “Synthesis of a Genius” by George Kauffman and Steven Chooljian. The area of exploration and discovery that I chose was the synthesis of urea in chemistry. Urea was discovered by Friedrich Wohler‚ in 1828. This discovery ultimately changed the belief at the time that only organic compounds can be created from living

Commercial Aspirin Tablet Analysis Tuesday Evening Intro: The purpose of this lab was to analyze commercial aspirin tablets. To do so‚ the percent acetylsalicyclic acid (active ingredient) in tablets using acid-base titration was determined‚ the percent acetylsalicyclic acid in tablets by formation of a colored iron(III)-salicylate complex was determined using spectrometry‚ and then the percents from each process was compared. Acetylsalicylic acid is produced when salicylic acid and acetic

In “Helping Students Use Textual Sources Persuasively‚” Margaret Kantz talks about how individuals should read texts to write a synthesis essay. To write a synthesis essay‚ one should be able to come up with an argument and find information from other sources‚ and use them as proofs to back up the argument. First‚ Kantz talks about the mistakes that students usually make when they write this essay. For instance‚ Shirley made a mistake by reading a repeating and telling the story instead of creating

report discussing the purity of my aspirin sample I produced. When I carried out the experiment to produce an aspirin sample I had to take a few results I had gained from carrying out the experiment later used these to work out the experimental error and percentage % yield. The results I used where the published value of what temperature pure aspirin melts at‚ the temperature my aspirin sample melted at‚ the weight of pure aspirin and the weight of impure aspirin. Firstly I worked out the experimental

alternative to aspirin. Such a positioning will be able to attract current aspirin customers to Datril. The marketing campaign should focus on physicians‚ trade and patients. It should stress the information of little side effects compared to other analgesic medicine. Both the retail price and the trade price should be lower than Tylenol. Segmentation and targeting: Datril should target on aspirin users. Datril potential clients could be 1) people currently using aspirin 2) people currently

Aspirin has been a pain reliever for more than 100 years. Aspirin has been used as a remedy for many illnesses for centuries now and still more things are yet to be identified about aspirin and its uses. It was recently discovered that aspirin can be used to reduce clotting of the platelets in the blood vessels‚ thus reducing the risk of heart attack in humans. Most students in their youthful age were not able to give their heart the maximum care it deserved‚ as a result‚ it leads to heart related
