What is water purification? Water purification generally means freeing water from any kind of impurity it contains‚ such as contaminants or micro organisms. Water purification is not a very one-sided process; the purification process contains many steps. The steps that need to be progressed depend on the kind of impurities that are found in the water. This can differ very much for different types of water. In which ways is polluted water treated? Settling Before the purification process begins some

Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen INTRODUCTION: Synthesis and use of organic compounds is an extremely important area of modern chemistry. Approximately half of all chemists work with organic chemicals. In everyday life‚ many if not most of the chemicals you come in contact with are organic chemicals. Examples include drugs‚ synthetic fabrics‚ paints‚ plastics‚ etc. Synthesis of Aspirin and Methyl Salicylate. The two compounds we will be preparing‚ aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and oil
Premium Aspirin Salicylic acid Carboxylic acid
Lab Report Introduction This lab has the following two concepts: synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid and analysis of acetylsalicylic acid. Synthesis is a purposeful execution of chemical reactions to obtain a product. This concept is used in the first part of the lab; when we have to produce crystals of aspirin. Analysis is the separation‚ identification‚ and quantification of the chemical components of natural and artificial materials. This concept is used throughout the lab when we are analyzing

synthesize and purify aspirin. The theoretical yield was calculated to 3.766g. The actual yield of pure aspirin was 2.863g with a yield of 76%. The percent yield indicates that our synthesis was a success but the yield is low and indicates that some of the aspirin was lost during synthesis. Some reasons for loss can result from human error such as loosing product from sticking on the spatula and the Buchner funnel and several weighings. Also‚ when transferring the crude aspirin into the vacuum filtration

Formal Lab Report 1 Chemistry 100-03 March 19‚ 2012 Abstract: • Introduction/Objective: Prepare and analyze aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride‚ and calculate the percent yield of the synthesized aspirin. • Materials and Methods: This experiment called for the synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid‚ or aspirin‚ by using salicylic acid‚ acetic anhydride‚ sulfuric acid‚ and vacuum filtration. The salicylic acid and the acetic anhydride were mixed in a flask. Sulfuric

Preparation and melting point of Aspirin Aspirin is a painkilling drug and is produced worldwide to reduce and stop pain. Aspirin is made up of ehtanoylation of 2-hydroxbenzenecarboxylic acid in a presence of phosphoric acid. AIM: The aim of the experiment is to prepare and produce aspirin as pure as possible. I will do this threw preparing the aspirin and purifying the product threw recrystallization. I will then obtain a melting point of my product to get an estimate of its purity. By the end

“Solar Treated Purification” Intorduction: A. Background of the study: In our world today‚ purified water is the one that most of the people drink everyday especially those who live in cities. Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals‚ biological contaminants‚ suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water)‚ but water purification may also be designed

to synthesise pure aspirin using chemical tests such as esterification and recrystallization independently and to also find out the melting point range of aspirin using melting point determination. INTRODUCTION Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is one of the commonly used and widely found in any drugstore or pharmacy. Its properties make aspirin a well-rounded drug that reduces inflammation and fever and also relieves pain. The active ingredient in aspirin was found to be salicylic

Purification of solids Aim: To separate a mixture of carboxylic acid and a neutral substance by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide and purifying the carboxylic acid‚ measuring the melting points of the neutral and the acid components. METHOD: A mixture of( 5g) Carboxylic acid and neutral compound were separated by adding 2 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide (25cm3) to the mixture‚ which separated the water soluble sodium from the water insoluble neutral component‚ by filtration. The solid at the
