Synthesis Of Aspirin Lab Report And Analysis Odinity

Synthesis Of Aspirin Lab Report And Analysis Odinity Aspirin synthesis tap water was heated on a steam bath in a 250 ml beaker. the temperature of an alcohol thermometer was equilibrated in a beaker of room temperature tap water. salicylic acid (1.00 g 0.005 g) and acetic anhydride (2.0 ml 0.05 ml) were added to each of four test tubes. sodium acetate (0.20 g) was added to one test tube. Results. 1.081g of salicylic acid was obtained after the first synthesis. it was thin, short white crystals and had a melting point range or 154 155 degrees celsius. 1.600g of aspirin was obtained after the second synthesis. this was a white powder and had a melting point range of 134 135 degrees celsius. discussion.

Solution Lab Report On The Synthesis And Recrystallization Of Aspirin This reaction is represented visually below: figure 1.1 aspirin synthesis: chemical reaction involving salicylic acid and acetic anhydride as reactants and aspirin and acetic acid as products. as shown in the above reaction, phosphoric acid, h 3 po 4 acts as a catalyst in the initial mixture of the reactants in order to speed up the reaction. Experiment 614: synthesis of aspirin . section 1: purpose and summary . conduct a chemical reaction to produce aspirin. separate the aspirin from the reaction by products using vacuum filtration. analyze the aspirin and estimate its purity. acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, is the most widely used drug in the world today. Aspirin synthesis and analysis revised: 12 13 14 • crush an aspirin tablet and place in a labeled, pre weighed vial or test tube. record the mass of the aspirin tablet. do not lose this container or its contents, you will use them later. • take a small amount of the aspirin tablet and dissolve as much as you can in 3 drops of ethyl acetate. First. discovered in 1897 by felix hoffman, it has since been used in over 50 over the counter medicines. aspirin is. primarily used to treat pain as well as to avert cardiovascular disease. the purpose of this lab is to synthesize and. characterize high purity aspirin.
