Report Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) The Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid). Summary: In this experiment‚ we produced 4.21 g of acetylsalicylic acid. Our theoretical yield was calculated to be 5.22 g. Therefore our % yield was determined to be 80.6%. The experimental boiling point range of acetylsalicylic acid was found to be 130-132° C. The true melting point of acetylsalicylic acid is 135° C‚ therefore our percent error

Synthesis “The kingdom of heaven is within the mind of a person‚ not within the collective mindlessness of a crowd.” In the articles‚ “The Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom He Hath Sent”‚ by Jeffery R. Holland and “Propaganda under a dictatorship”‚ by Aldous Huxley are two totally different topics. This paper will be a breaking down of the two articles and finding the similarities between the two of them. It will be interesting‚ but nothing is impossible. The two topics are Hitler wanting so

Jeana Greaves Chem3301-112 June 19‚ 2013 Synthesis of Aspirin from Methyl Salicylate Introduction The synthesis of Aspirin (Acetyl Salicyclic Acid) began with methyl salicylate and sodium hydroxide as the reagent. The polar oxygen accepts the electrons from now positively charged hydrogen. The positively charged sodium disassociates leaving the hydroxide ion with a negative Scheme 1 shows the mechanisms that were demonstrated during the synthesis of Aspirin. charge that attracts to the positively

SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS USING GREEN AND NON-GREEN CHEMISTRY Abstract Esters are a class of organic compounds with the general formula RCOOR’. Ester also contributes the flavor and aromas in fruits and flowers. The esterification reactions will use in the procedure‚ which are the interaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ aided by an inorganic acid catalyst (H2SO4). Moreover‚ the green method will not use any catalyst but using heating source instead (microwave). Based on the comparison of

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters‚ like isopentyl acetate‚ are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate‚ esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment‚ the excess reagent is acetic acid because it

Lab Report Macrocyclic Synthesis (Heme Analog) I. Purpose of Experiment and Introduction The purpose of this lab experiment is to prepare meso-tetraphenylporphin (TPP) and its copper‚ cobalt or zinc complex by condensing benzaldehyde with pyrrole in boiling propanoic acid. II. Introduction and Background There are two types of proteins that function as oxygen carriers: myoglobin (stores the oxygen) and hemoglobin (present in red blood cells and is responsible for oxygen transport)

increased slightly in recent years‚ and in 2003‚ women accounted for 30 percent of the doctorate degrees in science and nearly 9 percent of those awarded in engineering‚ according to a National Science Foundation report. However‚ relatively few women continue on to high-level faculty positions. In 1972‚ women made up just 3 percent of full professors in science and engineering fields‚ a figure that inched up to 10 percent by 1998‚ according to the NSF.

Lab 1: Synthesis of Aspirin Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the ability to easily alter the molecular structure of a compound to greatly increase its utility. In this case‚ an acetyl group was added to salicylic acid‚ a naturally occurring compound with significant pharmaceutical value. Without the addition of the acetyl group‚ salicylic acid is an irritant to the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Once the acetyl group is added via a simple reaction‚ acetylsalicylic

Experiment 23: Synthesis of an Alkene April 5‚ 2013 Purpose: Results and Discussion The weight of our n-Butyl Bromide sample (actual yield) was 0.09g. The percent yield was found to be 4.38%. Only 0.09g of the theoretical 2.055g yield was obtained. The boiling point was 104° C‚ which is higher than the literature value of 101° C. This is due to the sample being somewhat impure‚ as impurities tend to increase boiling point. When IR spectroscopy was performed‚ there were no OH stretches
