    Lab: Isolation of Sucrose/Aspirin/Unknown

    Isolation of Aspirin: The organic filtrate was extracted through a separatory funnel with 32 mL 5% sodium bicarbonate to produce an aqueous layer and a dichloromethane layer. 7.2 mL 6 M hydrochloric acid were added to the aqueous layer until the pH was 2. The mixture was then cooled in an ice/water bath for 10 minutes. The aspirin was collected by vacuum filtration. After it dried, it yielded 0.93 g (30.9 % of original Panacetin).…

    Seperating the Components of Panacetin

    2.014 g of Panacetin was measured and put inside a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. 35 mL of Dichloromethane (DCM) was added to the 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. After addition of DCM the Panacetin lumps were crushed with a stirring rod. Next a fluted filter paper was pre-weighed. The filter paper weighed around .860 g. Gravity filtration was then used to filter the mixture into a 125 mL collecting flask. The mixture was filtered in order to separate the crude sucrose from the mixture. The original container was then rinsed through the filter paper again with 5 mL of DCM and the mass of filter paper containing sucrose was measured after it was dry. The last step was to perform the isolation of Aspirin. See image below.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the composition of compounds in Panacetin. Generally, it is made up of sucrose, aspirin and an unknown component, either acetanilide or phenacetin. SinceBy using different techniques, such as filtration, extraction, and evaporation, those three components have been isolated out, which is based on varies solubility and acid-based properties. The percentage of composition of Panacetin are also found, which is based on the mass of three dried components.…

    Crude Acetaminophen Synthesis

    The purpose of this experiment was to create and obtain pure acetaminophen. p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride were used to create acetaminophen and acetic acid. The acetic acid mixed with acetaminophen created an impure sample, which was purified through the addition of a water/methanol solution. The percent recovery of acetaminophen from the impure sample to the pure sample was 76%. The melting point of the pure sample was 167C - 169C.…

    Identifying a Constituent of “Panacetin”

    The Consulting Chemists Institute has been asked to analyze the drug preparation of Aspirin to find out what percentages of aspirin, sucrose, and drug preparation. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the unknown component of panacetin. Panacetin contains aspirin, sucrose, and an unknown component. Dichloromate reacts with Panacetin to produce the sucrose as an insoluble solid. Aspirin is removed from the solution by reacting with sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous layer reacts with hydrochloric acid, the unknown component can then be isolated by evaporating the solvent from the dichloromethane solution.…

    Isolation of Components of Bc Powder

    Aspirin, Caffeine and Salicylamide were extracted from an over-the-counter pain reliever (BC Powder). These components were separated by manipulating their solubilities by adjusting the acidity and basicity of the solution. By doing this, the three components were forced into conjugate acid (or base) forms, causing selective solubility in either an aqueous or organic solvent. These layers were then separated by use of a separation funnel. Once separated, the components extracted were characterized by measuring the melting point and performing a TLC analysis. Also, the recovered aspirin from the first part of the experiment was recrystallized and compared to that of the isolated aspirin.…

    Acetaminophen Research Paper

    Acetaminophen is a common analgesic used to treat mild pain. We synthesized acetaminophen by reacting p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. The amine group on the p-aminophenol reacted with the center oxygen atom on the acetic anhydride to form an amide. We reacted 0.210g of p-aminophenol with 0.240ml of acetic anhydride in the presence of heat, and then cooled the solution in an ice bath until crystals formed. The solid acetaminophen was filtered from the solution and then subjected to a recrystallization using a 50:50 water-ethanol solvent. 0.1484g of crude acetaminophen was measured and after purification 0.0669g of pure acetaminophen was collected. A percent yield of 23% was calculated from our theoretical and actual yield. The melting point…

    Birth of Aspirin

    Hippocrates of Cas (460-377 B.C.), The Healer, noted that chewing leaves of willow (Salix) reduced pain, and he prescribed this remedy for women in labor. The Healer certainly did not discover this drug, which was used for centuries earlier in European folk medicine. Ancient Egyptians took an infusion of dried myrtle leaves to treat muscle pain. The myrtle leaves were also found to contain salicylic acid. Two Italians, Brugnatelli and Fontana, had in fact already obtained salicin in 1826, but in a highly impure form. Johann Buchner, professor of pharmacy at the University of Munich, isolated a tiny amount of bitter tasting yellow, needle-like crystals, which he called salicin (1828). Henri Leroux had improved the salicin extraction procedure to obtain about 30g from 1.5kg of bark (1829). An additional source of salicylic acid was found in 2835 by the German chemist Karl Jakob Lowig. This new wonder pain killer was found in Meadowsweet (Spiraea ulmaria), a wild flowering plant that grows on riverbanks over much of Europe. Raffaele Piria [an Italian chemist] then working at the Sorbonne in Paris split salicin into a sugar and an aromatic component (salicyladehyde) and converted the latter, by hydrolysis and oxidation, to an acid of crystallized colorless needles, which he named salicylic acid. (1838). the problem was that salicylic acid was tough on stomachs and a means of ‘buffering’ the compound was searched for. The first person to do so was a French chemist named Charles Frederic Gerhardt. In 1853, this man neutralized salicylic acid by buffering it with sodium (sodium salicylate) and acetyl chloride, creating acetylsalicylic acid.…

    Informative Essay On Aspirin

    Today, aspirin is one of the most widely used medication on this Earth and has been since its popular breakout in the late 1890s. Long before we were born there was no such thing of a medication called aspirin. Instead, ancient people used willow leaves and bark from trees to help relieve oneself from pain and fevers. Aspirin as we come to know it in the form of an acetylsalicylic acid, was introduced to the world by Chemist Felix Hoffmann who was working at Bayer pharmaceutical company located in Germany in the late 1890s.1 Hoffmann began using Aspirin to aid with his father’s rheumatism in the hospital and soon afterwards physicians in the hospital began distributing Aspirin to their patients. After witnessing a positive change in patients’ health after consuming the drug, the drug was approved and sold over-the-counters in 1915. 1…
