Formal Lab Report 1 Chemistry 100-03 March 19‚ 2012 Abstract: • Introduction/Objective: Prepare and analyze aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride‚ and calculate the percent yield of the synthesized aspirin. • Materials and Methods: This experiment called for the synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid‚ or aspirin‚ by using salicylic acid‚ acetic anhydride‚ sulfuric acid‚ and vacuum filtration. The salicylic acid and the acetic anhydride were mixed in a flask. Sulfuric

synthesize and purify aspirin. The theoretical yield was calculated to 3.766g. The actual yield of pure aspirin was 2.863g with a yield of 76%. The percent yield indicates that our synthesis was a success but the yield is low and indicates that some of the aspirin was lost during synthesis. Some reasons for loss can result from human error such as loosing product from sticking on the spatula and the Buchner funnel and several weighings. Also‚ when transferring the crude aspirin into the vacuum filtration

The Synthesis of Organic Aspirin ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment was to find out how a reaction undergoes for a globally known painkiller called aspirin‚ and to become familiar with achieving successful yields. Aspirin is synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Those two chemicals are mixed together along with sulfuric acid to form a crude solid. Filtration is used separate the impurities from the crude aspirin. To get purified aspirin‚ the precipitate was heated until all

Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen INTRODUCTION: Synthesis and use of organic compounds is an extremely important area of modern chemistry. Approximately half of all chemists work with organic chemicals. In everyday life‚ many if not most of the chemicals you come in contact with are organic chemicals. Examples include drugs‚ synthetic fabrics‚ paints‚ plastics‚ etc. Synthesis of Aspirin and Methyl Salicylate. The two compounds we will be preparing‚ aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and oil

Abstract For the amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet to be determined‚ different solutions of acetylsalicylic acid mixed with NaOH were created at different concentrations. All the different solutions were then analysed using Novaspec photometer‚ which allowed for a graph to be created and a line of best fit to be made. The amount of aspirin in a commercial tablet was found to be 350mg. Introduction The molecular formula for aspirin‚ also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is C9H8O4. It is most

Preparation and melting point of Aspirin Aspirin is a painkilling drug and is produced worldwide to reduce and stop pain. Aspirin is made up of ehtanoylation of 2-hydroxbenzenecarboxylic acid in a presence of phosphoric acid. AIM: The aim of the experiment is to prepare and produce aspirin as pure as possible. I will do this threw preparing the aspirin and purifying the product threw recrystallization. I will then obtain a melting point of my product to get an estimate of its purity. By the end

Soluble aspirin tablets Adult dosage: To treat pain or fever in adults‚ the recommended dose is 325 mg to 650 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. The maximum daily dose is 4‚000 mg‚ unless otherwise directed by your doctor. For adults with conditions caused by inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis‚the usual dose is 975 mg 4 to 6 times daily on a regular basis. Sometimes‚ higher doses may be used. To treat migraine headache pain‚ the recommended adult dose is 1‚000 mg at the onset of pain or

Once the aspirin is prepared‚ it is isolated from the reaction solution and then it is purified. The aspirin is insoluble in cold water‚ and it is isolated by filtering the chilled reaction solution. Purification is essential to remove any unreacted salicylic acid and acetic anhydride as well as the acetic acid product and phosphoric acid. Acetic anhydride is caused to decompose by the addition of water once the formation of aspirin is complete. C4H6O3 (Acetic anhydride) + H2O (Water) ------------------------->
