Lab: Isolation of Sucrose/Aspirin/Unknown

Lab #2: Experimental Design

Isolation of Sucrose: 3.01 g Panacetin were weighed in a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask, and 51mL dichloromethane were added to partially dissolve the Panacetin. The insoluble portion was gravity filtered and air dried to yield 0.45 g of sucrose (15.0 % of original Panacetin).

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).

Isolation of Unknown: 71 mL of boiling H2O were poured int an Erlenmeyer flask with 0.93 g of unknown to dissolve it. After reaching room temperature, the flask was placed into a bucket with ice and DI H2O. The unknown was collected by vacuum filtration, rinsed with ice water, and dried to constant mass at 0.72 g.

13C NMR (100.13 MHz, acetone-D6): σ 15.5 (s, Me), 24.3 (s, Me), 29.9 (s, Me), 30.1 (s, Me), 30.3 (s, Me), 30.5 (s, Me), 30.7 (s, Me), 30.9 (s, Me), 31.1 (s, Me), 64.7 (s, Me), 115.7 (s, C=C), 122.5 (s, C=C), 133.5 (s, C=C), 156.4 (s, C=O), 170.8 (s, C=O), 210.5 (s, >C=S).

Melting points: 1) Started at 108 °C, ended at 121 °C. 2) Started at 102 °C, ended at 115

    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.…

    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.…

    Panacetin Lab Report

    The second experiment of the semester focuses on separating and identifying the components of Panacetin, which is a common medication that relieves pain. The label reveals that Panacetin is composed of sucrose (10%), aspirin (40%), and Tylenol (50%). Although this information is reported, the true composition of Panacetin is questionable. While sucrose and aspirin are present in Panacetin, Tylenol may be replaced by an unknown component (acetanilide or phenacetin). Separation of the components of a sample of Panacetin may prove valuable in identification of the unknown component, as well as the true percent composition of each component of Panacetin.…

    In this lab we separated components of a simulated preparation, panacetin and making use of its acid base properties. To obtain such a pure compound, the compound we want must be separated from its other natural components, which can be done by manipulating physical and chemical properties. Panacetin contains sucrose, aspirin and an unknown which can be acetanilide or phenacetin in which phenacetin was created and weighed.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the composition of a simulated pharmaceutical preparation Panacetin, a proposed type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose, aspirin, and acetaminophen, but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen, either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as extraction, evaporation, and filtration, the three components will be isolated based on their solubilities and acid-base properties. The percent composition of Panacetin will also be deduced based on the masses of the three dried components; this is done to verify the composition attained is consistent with those listed on the preparations label. As a result of this investigation, my teammates and I allowed the Panacetin to undergo gravity filtration and separation techniques in order to identify whether there are any discrepancies in the components of the Panacetin. Furthermore, recrystallization and purification methods were used to determine if the unknown substance were similar in properties to either of the suspected unknown substances by comparing factors such as melting points to the chemical properties of phenactin and acetanilide. The results were as expected, based on the molecular weights and ratios of each separated chemicals, as well as the boiling point of the unknown it was determined that these ranges were close enough to indicate that the label is reasonably accurate in its composition. To add on however the identity of the unknown component differed from what the label indicated. In the end, the percentage composition attained based on our observations and yield confirmed that indeed the chemical composition of Panacetin were as indicated on the preparations label. The identity of the unknown component however suggested that the preparation did not contain acetaminophen as indicated, but instead was consistent with the chemical properties…

    Aspirin is known as a pain reliever for muscle ache, head ache and can prevent heart attacks as well as blood clots, and many more things that it can help with. Aspirin is known as Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a Salicylate. Salicylates are organic acids from plants that people for hundreds of years have been used for pain reducing. Salicylic acid irritates the stomach when consumed so German scientist Felix Hoffman suggested ASA as an alternative. Aspirin is made when Acetic Anhydride reacting with Salicylic acid to produce Acetylsalicylic acid and Acetic acid (diluted vinegar). Aspirin is in millions of home today and in America, about 50 million tablets are consumed every day. When aspirin ages it breaks down and returns to the main chemicals that made the reaction.…
