Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

Synthesis of Acetylsalicylic acid: (a) Place approx. 1.4 g (±0.01 g) of salicylic acid (Caution: this is a skin irritant) in a dry 100 mL conical flask. Record the exact mass to three decimal places. (b) Add 3.3 mL of acetic anhydride (Caution: acetic anhydride is a severe eye irritant – avoid skin and eye contact) in such a way as to wash down any material adhering to the walls of the flask, and then add 1 drop of concentrated sulfuric acid (Caution: sulfuric acid causes severe skin burns). (c) Heat flask for 15 min. on a steam bath and without allowing to cool, add 2 mL of water and allow the flask to stand at room temperature until crystallisation begins. The crystallisation can be hastened by occasionally scratching the walls of the flask at the surface of the solution with a glass stirring rod. When the crystals begin to appear, place the flask in an ice bath, add 10-15 mL of cold water and chill thoroughly until crystallisation is complete. (d) Collect the product on a…
