PREPARATION OF ASPIRIN AND DETERMINATION OF THE MELTING POINT Ferrer‚ Lara Melissa V. Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas Manila‚ Philippines ABSTRACT This experiment involved three steps: synthesis of aspirin‚ isolation and purification‚ and the estimation of purity of the final product. The synthesis involved the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst‚ phosphoric acid‚ H3PO4. When the aspirin was prepared‚ it was isolated and filtered. The percentage

The percent yield of crude product was determined to be 21% and the melting point was recorded at 86.2°C ± 0.2°C‚ with a 6.3% error from 92°C‚ the literature melting point of pure benzocaine. The crude product was then recrystallized to improve the purity of benzocaine and 57.4% was recovered. The new melting point range was measured at 89.1°C ± 0.3°C‚ which has a 3.15% error. The infrared spectrum of the recrystallized product was measured

Experiment 2&3 Recrystallization and Melting Points Determinantion of Benzoic Acid Abstract In experiment 2‚ recrystallization was used to purify the crude benzoic acid extracted from a mixture during experiment 1. Then a percent recovery for this recrystallization process was calculated. In experiment 3‚ the melting point ranges of the crude and purified benzoic acid were both determined by using Melt Temp Apparatus.

#1: THE PURITY AND PURIFICATION OF SOLIDS MELTING POINTS ABSTRACT Melting points of different mixtures of naphthalene and biphenyl were examined in this lab. Samples of these various mixtures were collected and tested by different individuals in the lab in order to find the eutectic point of biphenyl. Unknown substances were then tested using the mixture melting point method in order to determine their identities. INTRODUCTION The melting point of a solid is the temperature where the

and Purification of Solids Melting Points CH-337 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to find the eutectic point for the mixture of naphthalene and biphenyl. This was done by measuring the melting point of both pure substances and five mixtures of different ratios. The purpose of the second section was to identify an unknown sample by measuring its melting point and mixing it with two known substances and comparing them. The results suggest that the eutectic point is closest to the weight
