Name Period Date The Synthesis of Aspirin Background Pharmaceutical research labs perform chemical reactions between organic molecules that contain mostly carbon. Since the atoms in organic molecules tend to be nonmetals‚ then the bonds that hold them together are covalent bonds. Only a few elements on the periodic table are nonmetals: C‚ N‚ O‚ S‚ Cl‚ and F. This small number of elements can be bonded together in different quantities‚ bonding types (single‚ double‚ triple bonds)‚ and structural

Synthesis Argument Do you want to have everything decided for you? Does that make you feel safe and comfortable? How about confused and concerned? Do you see too many laws that restrict your freedom? Government protects people from threats and is not to unnecessarily legislate that restricts freedom and governs morality but to leave that to the realm of individual responsibility. Government is defined by the Webster Dictionary as "the system by which a state or community is governed." In America

Alum Synthesis: The Chemical Process of Recycling Aluminum Introduction By recycling aluminum cans‚ the costs and energy savings are dramatically more resourceful and efficient than producing aluminum from what it is naturally found in‚ bauxite ore. The process of recycling aluminum to produce potassium aluminum sulfate‚ a common alum‚ will be done through a serious of chemical reactions. Through this reaction‚ percent yield will be determined. Materials and Methods The mass of a 250 mL

CHEMISTRY 101.1 Intermediate Chemistry Laboratory I Institute of Chemistry University of the Philippines‚ Diliman I. Synthesis of Salicylic Acid Purpose: Part I of the experiment illustrates the base hydrolysis of an ester‚ methyl salicylate‚ to form salicylic acid through nucleophilic acyl substitution. Procedure: Dissolve 12 g NaOH in 70 mL water in a 150 mL round bottom flask. Add 5.0 mL methyl salicylate and reflux the reaction mixture at its boiling point for 15 minutes using a stirrer

In modern day‚ man does not truly think about how much the earth means to life. On the contrary‚ humans aspire to cease Mother Nature’s beauty with the replacement of modern day cities made up of synthetic nature. Since the dawn of the twentieth century‚ a major theme in the American Arts has been the protest against man’s destruction of the natural world. With this in mind‚ as very well argued in Chief Seattle’s article “Respect”‚ humans fail to be conscious of the physical and sentimental value

aqueous solution of formaldehyde is called formalin. The commercially available formalin has 10 to 12% methanol with a few impurities like aluminum and copper. Almost 21 million tonnes of formaldehyde is produced annually all around the world. Synthesis of Formaldehyde Formaldehyde is produced by catalytic oxidation of methanol. A mixture of molybdenum and iron or silver is used as a catalyst in such a reaction. But a more commonly used process is FORMAX. In this process‚ methanol and oxygen

Explanatory Synthesis A countless number of children in the United States were taught to believe that you could accomplish anything if you worked hard. This American dream has now become an American nightmare. According to the information in the Hart Research Associations titled “Raising the Bar‚” “ How the Rich are getting Richer and Poor are getting Poorer‚” and the Workforce Commission powerpoint‚ Americans are faced with many obstacles to learn how to survive in the economy.

Synthesis Paper Focus Question: What role do the Harry Potter books play in children’s education? In my freshman year in high school‚ Mr. Mehta‚ the Head of the English department‚ made some changes to our school’s English curriculum. One of these changes included introducing the fifth book of the Harry Potter series‚ Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix‚ to our reading list. Mr. Mehta’s simple action attracted more attention than ever before! While students lauded his decision‚ most parents

Experiment 2 and 3: Synthesis of Aspirin and Determination of Melting Point A. Abstract Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid‚ widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. The first part of the experiment aims to synthesize aspirin from the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the aid of phosphoric acid as a catalyst. The second part of the experiment aims to assess the purity of aspirin through the determination of its melting point and
