Aspirin

Aspirin And Plants What is Aspirin? Acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, has a chemical formula of C9H804. Aspirin is one of the first drugs in the world that came to a common use with about 35,000 metric tons that are annually used and consumed by people all over the world. Aspirin is commonly used to relieve people from pain of headaches and reduces the temperatures of fevers. Aspirin is also used to sooth a scratchy throat, relieving pain from bug-bites, wiping away rust

Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to prepare acetylsalicylic acid, which is aspirin, investigate two of its chemical properties, and measure the purity of the synthesized aspirin. The aspirin was created in an esterification reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Using the aspirin that was made from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride, it was tested to see if the salicylic acid in the aspirin acts as a phenolic alcohol or as a carboxylic acid by adding FeCl3 solution. Procedure

In this experiment, two organic esters, aspirin or commonly known as acetylsalicylic acid and methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) were synthesized through an esterification process and then the purity of some of the molecules was determined through analytical techniques. During part one of this experiment, aspirin was synthesized. Salicylic acid and acetic anhydride were mixed to produce acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Typically, acetic acid is used but the reaction with acetic acid is slow

synthesis of aspirin is very important in today’s society. One of the age old methods of treating patients with inflammation problems, blood coagulation problems, fevers, and having a high risk of heart problems involves the patient ingesting an oral supplement of aspirin. Using aspirin as a therapy can decrease the risk of a second heart attack (Baigent 2009). In fact, the FDA has approved four drugs for the prevention of vascular problems, and aspirin is one (Furie 2010). In addition, aspirin is used

Synthesis and Characterization of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Summary The purpose of the Aspirin lab is to synthesis the Acetylsalicylic acid which is known as aspirin and calculate the limiting, theoretical, and the melting point. In the second step, the Theoretical yield came out to be salicylic acid seeing it was the smallest out of the phosphoric and acetic anhydride. Experimental melting point-The literature melting point was 138-140 Celsius, when it was prepared in lab, it started melting

During 1915 World War I the British required aspirin nonetheless it was prepared by the Germans (Co &Bayer). Thus the British government presented a £21,000 return to anybody who could improve a practicable developed method. This was attained by George Nicholas, a pharmacist in Melbourne, who consequently provided his pill the name Aspro. 1995s More than 10~12 million kilograms of aspirin are prepared in the US every year. Today aspirin is not just only used as a drug then has also been planned as

CHARACTERISTICS OF ASPIRIN- ACETYLSALCYLIC ACID Summary: The lab experiment was divided into parts and the synthesis of the aspirin occurred during the first week. Using 4.032g of salicylic acid 8.0mL of acetic anhydride on a hot bath the reaction was speeded up by the use of a catalyst phosphoric acid. Once the sample was then left to dry in the drawer for a week using the melting point apparatus we conducted the purity assessment of the dried sample. Introduction: Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)

Data Assessment The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to synthesize aspirin and accurately determine the theoretical and percent yield of the aspirin. The synthesis occurs due to a reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Once the aspirin was prepared, it was isolated from the reaction solution and purified. The aspirin is insoluble in cold water, and was isolated by filtering the crystallized reaction solution. Purification was necessary to remove any of the unreacted salicylic

Enterically coated aspirin can also be used to reduce pain and/or swelling caused by arthritis or as a blood thinner to prevent blood clots from forming. Consumers of enterically coated aspirin are advised to take a full glass of water with the medication. Users should not lie down for 10 minutes after taking medicine. Users experience things such as slurred speech, weakness on one side of the body, or sudden vision changes. There are many side effects to taking enterically coated aspirin. These side effects

What is Aspirin? Aspirin is on of the first drugs to ever be commonly used and is still one of the most widely used in the world. How widely used you ask? Approximately 35000 metric tonnes are produced and consumed every year. Chemically aspirin is known as acetylsalicylic acid with the chemical formula of C9H8O4. Aspirin is an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. The history of Aspirin Aspirin has been a major part of just about everyone's
