What is Aspirin? Aspirin is on of the first drugs to ever be commonly used and is still one of the most widely used in the world. How widely used you ask? Approximately 35000 metric tonnes are produced and consumed every year. Chemically aspirin is known as acetylsalicylic acid with the chemical formula of C9H8O4. Aspirin is an analgesic‚ anti-inflammatory‚ antipyretic‚ and is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. The history of Aspirin Aspirin has been a major part of just about everyone’s

significant quantities of reactants still remaining. In addition‚ separating the desired product from the rest of the reaction mixture‚ and then purifying it‚ will result in the loss of more of the product. The amount of product obtained expressed as a percentage of the theoretical maximum amount possible and is known as the percentage yield. Percentage yield = Actual mass of product × 100 Predicted mass of product When deciding on quantities of reactants to use‚ you must consider: how much product

Determining the Percentage of 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic Acid in an Aspirin Tablet Introduction and Aim: An Aspirin tablet is an analgesic; therefore the purpose is to relieve pain and due to it also being an antipyretic its other tenacity is to lower the body temperature. An experiment was carried out on the basis of calculating the percentage of 2-ethanoylhydroxybenzoic Acid in aspirin tablets hence 4 commercial tablets were taken to determine its purity using a known volume of standard sodium hydroxide

Experiment 7a Name: Date: Title: Purity of Aspirin by Spectrophotometry Aim: i. To measure the absorbance of different volumes of sodium salicylate solutions and aspirin with iron chloride ii. To find the concentration of each standard solutions iii. To determine percentage purity of aspirin. Abstract: The mass of acetylsalicylic acid was determined using a analytical balance. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added to the acetylsalicylic acid and heated in order to hydrolyze acetylsalicylic

alternative to aspirin. Such a positioning will be able to attract current aspirin customers to Datril. The marketing campaign should focus on physicians‚ trade and patients. It should stress the information of little side effects compared to other analgesic medicine. Both the retail price and the trade price should be lower than Tylenol. Segmentation and targeting: Datril should target on aspirin users. Datril potential clients could be 1) people currently using aspirin 2) people currently

Aspirin has been a pain reliever for more than 100 years. Aspirin has been used as a remedy for many illnesses for centuries now and still more things are yet to be identified about aspirin and its uses. It was recently discovered that aspirin can be used to reduce clotting of the platelets in the blood vessels‚ thus reducing the risk of heart attack in humans. Most students in their youthful age were not able to give their heart the maximum care it deserved‚ as a result‚ it leads to heart related

Aspirin analysis Introduction Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the
