Titration- Analysis of Aspirin Tablets Objective: Determine the percentage of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) present in two different commercial tablets by titrating the solution with a base. Also determine whether the aspirin is a strong or weak acid according to the Bronsted- Lowry and Lewis theories and deduce the formula of the acid- base reaction. Independent Variable: The amount of base (NaOH) in moles that are needed to neutralize the solution. Dependent Variable: Percentage of aspirin (acetylsalicylic

Acid (ASA or Aspirin) Background Salicylic acid is a phenol as well as a carboxylic acid. It can therefore undergo two different types of esterification reactions‚ creating an ester either with the hydroxyl or with the acid. In the presence of acetic anhydride‚ acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin or ASA) is formed. Correspondingly‚ an excess of methanol will form methyl salicylate‚ which is also an analgesic. In this experiment‚ we shall use the former reaction to prepare aspirin.

1. Aim To determine the percentage of aspirin in different commercial preparations and to find which is the best value for money 2. Hypothesis The greater the percentage of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in the tablet‚ more powerful and efficient the aspirin would be due to the way aspirin works in human’s body. Aspirin is often used to alleviate the pain‚ and the sensation of pain is mainly attributed to a chemical substance called prostaglandins‚ which is responsible to send a strong signal

INTRODUCTION: Penicillin is the basis for most of the antibiotics in the world just as aspirin is the basis for many drugs. Therefore‚ if there had been only two drugs to invent‚ it would be down to penicillin and aspirin. Hippocrates‚ the father of modern medicine lived sometime between 460 B.C and 377 B.C. Hippocrates has left historical records of pain relief treatments‚ including the use of a powder made from the bark and leaves of the willow tree to help heal headaches‚ pains and fevers.

Soluble aspirin tablets Adult dosage: To treat pain or fever in adults‚ the recommended dose is 325 mg to 650 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. The maximum daily dose is 4‚000 mg‚ unless otherwise directed by your doctor. For adults with conditions caused by inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis‚the usual dose is 975 mg 4 to 6 times daily on a regular basis. Sometimes‚ higher doses may be used. To treat migraine headache pain‚ the recommended adult dose is 1‚000 mg at the onset of pain or

for some people‚ yet it is safe enough to be sold without a prescription. Because it is easy to prepare‚ aspirin is one of the most inexpensive drugs available. It is produced in vast amounts. In fact‚ industry makes 43‚000‚000 pounds of the drug every year. This microscale experiment will permit you to make an amount of aspirin equivalent to about 1/2 of that found in an aspirin tablet. Purpose: To synthesize acetylsalicylic acid on a microscale basis. Equipment / Materials: |salicylic
