Acetaminophen can be toxic to dogs and cats‚ but cats are more susceptible to acetaminophen toxicity than dogs are. Once swallowed‚ acetaminophen reaches the blood stream within 30 minutes; toxic effects are rapid and damage the liver and red blood cells. Most of the cases of acetaminophen toxicity in cats are accidental and some cases happen because

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.

Marie Curie: A Pioneering Physicist Aspirations come from hopes and dreams only a dedicated person can conjure up. They can range from passing the third grade to making the local high school football team. Marie Curie’s aspirations‚ however‚ were much greater. Life in late 19th century Poland was rough. Being a female in those days wasn’t a walk in the park either. Marie Curie is recognized in history by the name she took in her adopted country‚ France. Born in Poland in 1867

The most closely-linked of isomers are optical isomers‚ which differ only by the three-dimensional placement of the molecule’s attachments‚ which renders its mirror images to be non-superimposable. The presence of optical isomerism within a molecule is determined by

Acetaminophen Abstract: The aim of this experiment is to prepare Acetaminophen (p-acetamidophenol)‚ an amide. Acetaminophen will be created by treating an amine (p-aminophenol) with an acetic anhydride. Color impurities present in the solid acetaminophen will be removed and then the decolorized product will be collected on a Büchner funnel for further purification by crystallization. Purity will then be determined by melting point. Introduction: Acetaminophen is commonly used as an analgesic to
