diabetes but no other major risk factors for heart disease probably should not be on low-dose aspirin therapy‚ new research suggests. The new recommendations are based on close examination of nine studies that found the risks of some aspirin side effects‚ such as stomach bleeding‚ should be better balanced against the possible benefits of using aspirin. The larger theme here is that use of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks in people who have not already experienced one is probably not as efficacious

Rebecca Boreham 7/1/14 Chem 2423 Experiment #5 Synthesis of Aspirin Elizabeth Ajasa Kaylee Seymour Lauren Hatfield Suveda Perikala Introduction/ Purpose Aspirin is the most commonly used drug in the United States. Forty million pounds are produced each year. The chemical name for aspirin is Acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Aspirin originated from the bark of a White Willow Tree. Chewing the bark however is extremely acidicand irritates the mucous membranes

preparation of aspirin and oil of wintergreen | Introduction Organic compounds are those which contain carbon as well as a select other elements. An organic acid however‚ is an organic compound which contains acidic properties. An ester is an example of being a derivative of these organic acids. Esters can be prepared by the reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols‚ with an inorganic acid used as a catalyst which is dubbed esterification. With o-hydrobenzoic acid‚ or salicylic

Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract: This experiment is about the synthesis of aspirin under laboratory conditions. Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride; in the presence of sulfuric acid. After fully dissolving the salicylic acid with acetic anhydride‚ the solution is cooled and cold water is then added. Once the crystals form they are then filtered and left to dry out. There mass is measured and recorded then the yield is calculated. Introduction:

Acetic anhydride is an irritant and also flammable‚ therefore gloves and goggles should be worn at all times during the experiment. It is reactive to water‚ so in the case of fire‚ alcohol foam or carbon dioxide is preferred to use as an extinguisher. This chemical has harmful fumes and use of a fume hood is strongly recommended. Sulphuric and Salicylic Acid These acids may irritate the skin in high concentrations. Take appropriate care to avoid contact. Heating Handle all hot equipments with
