one of two very similar pentose rings. Ribonucleic acids contain the sugar ribose. Deoxyribonucleic acids contain the sugar deoxyribose. The only difference between these two sugars is that deoxyribose contains one oxygen atom less than ribose. Pentose sugars are essential because they are involved in linking different nucleotides together by condensation reactions. The Nitrogen-Containing Bases There are two types of bases found in nucleic acids. The purine bases have two nitrogen containing rings

of Acetylsalicylic Acid Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid was prepared using salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. As a result‚ a white‚ powdery substance was formed (0.1931g‚ percent yield 91.30%) and was defined by melting point (124.5 – 134.5°C) and observation of color change with ferric chloride. Introduction Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is one of the most popular analgesic drugs on the market today. It also acts as an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drug. Salicylic acid itself was too acidic

What is acetylsalicylic acid? Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)‚ or more commonly known as aspirin‚ is a medication that can be used for pain‚ fevers‚ and inflammation. It can be used for long periods of time‚ in small amounts‚ to prevent heart attacks‚ strokes and the formation of blood clots. A heart attack victim can be given a low dose right after the ordeal to reduce the risk of another one. Side effects of this drug is ulcers‚ internal bleeding (stomach) and ringing in the ears.

Gamido‚ Mitchiko Mariel M. Mizukami Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid‚ or also known as aspirin is known to be a drug that relives people of pain and is commonly used even today. It is synthesized from salicylic acid and ethanoic anhydride‚ both of small quantities. Phosphoric acid was used as a catalyst in the synthesis to speed up the process. Esterification is involved and the final product is aspirin with the presence of acetic acid as the byproduct. In order to create the powder form of aspirin

Acid in the human stomach When people refer to acid they usually see it as a corrosive liquid that can dissolve metals or change the color of a substance. So they think of acid as a dangerous matter for the body and believe it can easily dissolve your skin. What I have previously listed are indeed properties of certain acids‚ such as Hydrofluoric Acid which can cause irreversible tissue damage if it comes in contact with skin‚ but not all acids are this strong. As a matter of fact what a lot of

These acids provide an acidic environment for reduction of ferric iron to ferrous (Fe2+). Ferrous iron can be absorbed in the body system. As in following equation of iron (iii) reaction with Ascorbic acid ‚ the product is iron (ii) chloride which is soluble 2 Fe3+ (s) + C6 H8 O6 (aq) → 2 Fe2+ (aq) + C6 H6 O6 (aq) + 2 H (aq)+
