similar to ibuprofen‚ acetaminophen is used to treat many conditions such as headache‚ muscle aches‚ arthritis‚ backache‚ toothaches‚ colds‚ and fevers. There are other purposes this medication could be used for. Another name for acetaminophen is Paracetamol/APAP‚ while its chemical formula is C8H9NO2 and its IUPAC name is n-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanamide. Acetaminophen comes from its chemical name‚ para-acetylaminophenol‚ which is broken down into acet-amino-phen. Acetaminophen is known to have several

to be the most polar due to the fact that it stayed closer to the stationary phase. Caffeine contains four amine groups that are extremely polar as a result of the hydrogen bond and amide functional group. Acetaminophen was found to be the second most polar analgesic drug tested. Acetaminophen contains a polar alcohol group on one side and amide group on the other but also includes non-polar functional groups that consisted of the benzene ring and methyl group.

ingredients in Vicodin are Hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is considered to be a pain reliever that acts similarly to codine and is effective at decreasing the pain as well as relieving cough‚ however its can also cause drowsiness‚ mood changes‚ and metal “clouding”. Because of this reason the it can only be used when combined with another drug and not alone‚ as far as in the United States. Therefore its combined with acetaminophen‚ which is also a pain reliever along with a fever

that it can affect patients by effectively reducing pain while also having potential side effects such as sedation‚ respiratory depression‚ and euphoria. Percocet is the brand name for a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen. Percocet has 5 mg of oxycodone and 325 mg of acetaminophen. Oxycodone is considered a schedule II controlled substance‚ in which there is only one higher schedule‚ which includes drugs that are not safe for medicinal use and have a high chance of abuse such as heroin and ecstasy

The most overall polar analgesic is considered to be the analgesic that contained the most polar function groups. The amine and amide functional groups are the most polar. In this experiment‚ we found that both these functional groups are found in Caffeine. As a result‚ Caffeine was the most polar out of Acetylsalicylic Acid‚ Ibuprofen‚ Acetaminophen‚ and Caffeine.
