Acknowledgement

I am deeply indebted to Ms.Vibhuti Walia, our Chemistry faculty without

whose constructive guidance this term paper would not have been a success.

Her valuable advice and suggestions for the corrections, modifications and

improvement did enhance the perfection in performing my job well.

I am obliged to Lovely Proffesional University for providing the best of

facilities and environment to bring out our innovation and spirit of inquiry

through this venture.

Last but not the least I thank all My Friends and Section Mates, without their

prompt support my efforts would have been in vain.

Abstract of the work under taken

Antacids are medicines that neutralize stomach acid. They are used to relieve acid indigestion, upset stomach, sour stomach, and heartburn.

Antacids are taken by mouth and work by neutralizing excess stomach acid. They contain ingredients such as aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and sodium bicarbonate, alone or in various combinations. Antacid products may also contain other ingredients such as simethicone, which relieves gas.

Antacids differ in how quickly they work and how long they

    The composition of Alka-Seltzer allow the most volume of hydrochloric acid to be neutralized. Half a tablet of Alka-Seltzer can neutralize 46 mL of hydrochloric acid, half a tablet of Tums can only neutralize 38 mL, and half of a Rolaids tablet can neutralize 14 mL. Evidently, the most effective antacid is Alka-Seltzer, because a small amount of it can help to neutralize a significant amount of hydrochloric acid. Whereas, more Tums and Rolaids would need to be consumed in order to reach the same effectiveness as the…

    Acetaminophen is a common analgesic used to treat mild pain. We synthesized acetaminophen by reacting p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. The amine group on the p-aminophenol reacted with the center oxygen atom on the acetic anhydride to form an amide. We reacted 0.210g of p-aminophenol with 0.240ml of acetic anhydride in the presence of heat, and then cooled the solution in an ice bath until crystals formed. The solid acetaminophen was filtered from the solution and then subjected to a recrystallization using a 50:50 water-ethanol solvent. 0.1484g of crude acetaminophen was measured and after purification 0.0669g of pure acetaminophen was collected. A percent yield of 23% was calculated from our theoretical and actual yield. The melting point…

    Pre-Lab: Analgesic drugs are known for reducing pain, while antiseptic drugs reduce symptoms such as fevers and swelling. However, some of these drugs can reduce both illnesses. To obtain a pure compound in these drugs, the scientist needs to separate the desired compound by taking advantage of the different physical and chemical properties. Such as; different boiling points, melting points and their solubility properties. To do this a chemist can also asses the differences between acidic and basic substances when they are added to water soluble mixtures. Within this current experiment I will asses the pharmaceutical preparation of Panacetin, by using it 's solubility along with other organic molecules. We know that Panacetin is made up of sucrose, aspirin and some other unknown substance. We know the substance has to be Phenacetin or Acetanilide. To help solidify our reasoning, we need a % recovery of 8-12% sucrose, 35-45% aspirin and 45-55% unknown.…

    Recrystallization is a technique used to purify organic solids. This method involves dissolving of a solute in a solvent and inciting the solute to produce a precipitate from a solution. In this experiment, acetic anhydride was added to the mixture of 2mL aniline and 20mL of distilled water. The mixture was cooled in an ice bath and filtered through filter paper resulting to the crude acetanilide. The pure acetanilide was then produced by the filtered solution of crude acetanilide and recrystallizing solvent. Choosing of the recrystallizing solvent was done by placing a small amount of pure acetanilide in three test tubes, each containing: water, 95% ethanol and hexane. The final weight produced by the pure acetanilide is 1.1g contrary to the weight of the crude of the acetanilide which is 0.5g. Quantitative analysis showed that the pure acetanilide produced 37.04% percentage yield.…
