The Synthesis of Organic Aspirin ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to find out how a reaction undergoes for a globally known painkiller called aspirin‚ and to become familiar with achieving successful yields. Aspirin is synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Those two chemicals are mixed together along with sulfuric acid to form a crude solid. Filtration is used separate the impurities from the crude aspirin. To get purified aspirin‚ the precipitate was heated until all

TITLE: Toxicity Testing and Determining the LC50 INTRODUCTION: Our main objective for this experiment was to determine which three chemicals were going to be the most toxic to the brine shrimp by adding drops of vinegar‚ bleach and ammonia to the controlled water. We found that the vinegar was the most effective and the quickest. The ending results were very interesting when being compared to our hypothesis and we learned that some chemicals can react faster than others and each contains a different

Introduction: The purpose of the first experiment was to practice obtaining accurate and precise results by doing combustion analysis to find the amount of carbon dioxide and water released and the amount of fuel consumed. To identify the amount of carbon dioxide‚ water and burner consumed there were three equations used to find it. Equation 1 shows how much carbon dioxide was released. Mass of carbon dioxide = m2 - m1 Equation 1 was used as an experimental procedure created to help find out

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine which pigments in a plant support or effect photosynthesis‚ based on starch production‚ which wavelengths of light are involved in photosynthesis‚ and identify plant pigments found in a plant leaf by means of paper chromatography. Life on Earth is dependent entirely on the energy from the Sun‚ not only to keep the planet at a suitable temperature but also to provide the energy required to sustain life. The energy of the Sun‚ in the form of
