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

Synthesis of Aspirin Name: Xuanyi Li Teaching assistant: Deirdre Zwilling November 15‚ 2009 Purpose: To synthesize aspirin‚ a common analgesic drug‚ via nucleophilic acid-catalyzed substitution reaction of salicyclic acid with acetic anhydride. The whole reaction is catalyzed by phosphoric acid. (The experiment involved three parts: The synthesis of aspirin‚ the isolation and purification of aspirin‚ and the estimation of the purity of the final product.) [pic] Procedure[1]: A mixture

It is an over-the-counter drug that relieves pain and reduced fevers. Acetaminophen is considered an alternate to aspirin since it does not irritate the stomach (Richman‚ 2004). It also has very

MDMA ("Ecstasy") is a semi-synthetic compound which can be made relatively easily from available precursors. Synthesis instructions exist which can be followed by an amateur with very little knowledge of chemistry. However‚ people with less than 2 years of college chemistry experience would probably not be capable of sucessfully

Chromatography • • • Separation based on polarity of compounds Two potential phases for a compound to exist in: mobile and stationary Partitioning of compounds between mobile phase and stationary phase occurs: o Compounds that are less polar move more in the mobile phase‚ those that are more polar “stick” more on the stationary phase o These polarity differences cause compounds move at different rates and therefore can be separated 1. Mobile Phase: the phase the moves; can be gas or

The discovery of copper does not have an exact date. Copper is said to be a prehistoric element. This element was said to be first discovered around 8000BC. The ancient civilizations started to take the copper out of the ore they found around 4000BC. This is when copper started to be put to good use. Early civilizations discovered that copper is malleable and is sharp. They realized they could make copper into tools and weapons. This was easier than the stone that they were originally using. This
