The crude acetaminophen was then recrystallized in a solvent of water and methanol over heat resulting in 0.082 grams (39.61% yield) of pure acetaminophen. Melting points of both crude and pure acetaminophen were taken‚ and found to be 165.9 - 170.9°C and 168.2 - 171.5°C‚ respectively. The literature melting point of acetaminophen is 169.5 – 171.0°C‚ indicating that our final product was

tests showed a metabolic acidosis meaning there was too much acid in his body fluid. This meant Jasper could have been given acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ or ibuprofen. To identify what analgesic Jasper was given we took samples of the different analgesics and crushed them. We used a melting point apparatus to find out what the melting point was and matched it with acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ or ibuprofen. Then we used the Infrared Spectroscopy to determine the function group of the molecules to help us identify
