October 9‚ 2013 Partner(s): Acetylsalicylic Acid Synthesis Theory. This experiment was carried out to see how the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester‚ and to make aspirin. Synthesis of Acetylsalicylic Acid occurs by protonation of carbonyl (C=O) group‚ and a nucleophilic attack of OH on the acetic anhydride. The ferric chloride test and melting point were used to test the purity of the results. A hypothesized recovery rater of above

Grignard Synthesis of Tirphenylmethanol David Szuminsky Organic Chemistry Lab II Shaopeng Zhang Monday 1PM 2/10/14 & 2/24/14 - Abstract A sample of triphenylmethanol was prepared using Grignard synthesis techniques. Reflux was used in order to speed up the reaction and the final product was purified using recrystallization methods. The percent recovery and percent yield were 80.46% and 47.526%‚ respectively. A melting point range of 85-87oC was obtained from the purified

Banana Oil Lab Report Jesse Bradford 7/10/14 MTWR Section Introduction In the banana oil lab we began with isopentyl alcohol + acetic acid isopentyl acetate + Water. We needed for this experiment a hot plate‚ clamps‚ pipette‚ 5mL vial‚ caps‚ hoses and a thermometer. Upon starting‚ our group set up an open system experiment that allowed gases to be released to avoid pressure build up. We mixed together to molecules‚ 1.0mL of isopentyl alcohol‚ 1.5mL of acetic acid and

Bita Heydari Lab report 3 The Effects of Differentiation on Enzymatic Activity Introduction HL-60 cells are capable of undergoing differentiation to induce different cell types. HL-60 cells can undergo morphological changes‚ changes in gene expression‚ and changes in protein synthesis. In the past weeks‚ we were able to conclude that HL-60 cells treated with DMSO and HL-60 cells treated with PMA will differentiate into granulocytes and monocytes upon treatment (1). We were also able to observe

Lab Report: Acid and Base Indicator Lab The title of my lab report is “Acid and Base Indicator Lab” this lab is testing what household solutions area bases depending on what color they changed. You have to use the pH balance scale to determine Acid‚ Base‚ and Neutral. On this lab we used 7 different solutions to determine if it’s either base‚ acid‚ and neutral. These are ammonia‚ vinegar; drain cleaner‚ soft drink‚ baking soda‚ detergent‚ and lemon juice are the solutions that are going to be

Acetic acid‚ a pungent smelling colourless liquid having sour taste‚ used very commonly in the chemistry laboratories. It got its name from Latin word Acetum‚ which means vinegar. Pure acetic acid is also called glacial acetic acid‚ because in winters it freezes easily as temperature goes below 16-17°C. Therefore it looks like as if a small glacier is there in the bottle‚ hence called glacial acetic acid. Laboratory and daily life uses of acetic acid are: (i) Acetic acid is used in household kitchens

Experiment # 3 Acetylsalicylic Acid Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to create and isolate pure acetylsalicylic acid from the substances salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Then one will find the melting point to determine purity. Procedure: Make a hot bath. Weigh some salicylic acid and place in conical vial. Add .480mL of acetic anhydride and a drop of concentrated phosphoric acid. Drop in a magnetic spin vane and attach air condenser to vial. Partially submerge it in

tip of the spatula was used for all the pigments) was added into each clean dry test tube. For the first test 1 mL of 3 M of HNO3 was added. As soon as the acid came into with the solid‚ the pigment was observed to dissolve while also turning the solution into a pale clear colour. The same amount was used for the HCl reagent. As soon as the acid touched the pigment it yielded in a clear solution (solid dissolved after a few shakes). When the KI was added‚ the solution turned a pale yellow with white

Acid Rain Lab Report Introduction: The problem was to see how crushed chalk and whole chalk weather differently. The independent variables are The temperature of the liquids The surface area of the chalk‚ crushed vs whole The dependant variable was the weathering of the chalk; this was calculated by measuring the foam reactant. Procedure: Part B- For the two partners recording data with the room temperature liquids‚ the materials where collected first. Two of the graduated

aspirin? Acetylsalicylic acid 2. Using your data from Experiment 2‚ how can you be sure you synthesized aspirin? By using the colors as a guide‚ we can compare the Acetylsalicylic acid + 8 mL FeCl3 to the Aspirin Crystals from Experiment 1 + 8 mL FeCl3 in order to see if it synthesized. 3. Would you say that your synthesized aspirin is relatively pure? How can you tell? One way that the purity of aspirin can be judged is by it’s color as pure acetylsalicylic acid is a brown color. I would
