Methyl salicylate

thermodynamically stable than the product; in this case, methyl salicylate was less stable than the salicylic acid. Heating was performed under reflux7. In this experiment, the reagent that was fully used when the reaction completed and limited the amount of product formed was the methyl salicylate, making it the limiting reagent. Determining the theoretical mass and volume of methyl salicylate required for the use of 5 mmol of methyl salicylate prior to experimental procedure served to set an ideal

synthetically prepare a sample of salicylic acid from methyl salicylate, also known as wintergreen oil. The salicylic acid formed is to be compared to salicylic acid synthesized from benzene and determine whether or not the two acids differ. This experiment occurs through organic synthesis, meaning in order to create the desired product, the starting material must be chemically modified. The first step of the experiment was to reflux methyl salicylate with 6M NaOH. Sodium hydroxide was used in excess

The results obtained in this experiment were better than expected. Throughout the duration of this experiment some difficulties were faced. The main difficulty encountered was the lack of crystals forming when the Aminophenol/Acetic Anhydride mixture was put in the ice bath. This resulted in the experiment needing to be repeated a further 3 times before any crystals formed. The percentage yield of 64.07% is a moderate yield and was better than expected considering the problems that were encounters

Introduction: Tapinoma Sessile, more commonly known as Blue Cheese or odorous house ants, are common pests in our everyday environment. To most people, the odorous house ant may seem like any other ant. However, if one squishes a Tapinoma Sessile ant, it will release a compound called butyric acid, which has a blue cheese/coconut smell. This odor, only released when the ant is crushed, works to fend off predators and acts as a pheromone, defined as a semiochemical used to affect the behavior of conspecifics

classrooms setting for example; this is good breeding ground for infestations between students. Listerine Treatment Listerine is a proven method to treat lice; it is effective due to its content of alcohol, eucalyptol, thymol, and menthol and methyl salicylate. These ingredients are toxic for the lice, but safe for the user. This procedure eliminates the bonding agent that lice eggs stick to on the hair shaft. Treat the affected by washing followed by toweling and drying the hair. Massage the Listerine

In a stratified RCT, Tantipong, Morkchareonpong, Jaiyindee, & Thamlikitkul (2008) conducted a study to compare the use of CHG and normal saline for oral care. Patients in the CHG group received care using 15 ml of 2% CHG, the use of tooth brushing, and suctioning up to four times per day (Tantipong et al., 2008). The normal saline group used the same procedure as the CHG group, but with the difference of using normal saline instead of CHG. The results of this study were that 4.9% or 5 out of 102

Of Thee I Sing Analysis As actors, we are forced to absorb everything around us and express our views on the world. Of Thee I Sing succeeds as a play that reflects the world around them while poking fun at it. The play itself was fun, colorful, and interesting. From its high energized actors to its well choreographed dancing and singing. Of Thee I Sing is a musical that is full of terrific acting, dancing, staging, and stage directing. Anyone who did not see this production made a mistake not to

A Home for the Lice Have you ever wanted to know why lice chose people and why they chose our hair? Well, I have an explanation for it. I have the story of all of their adventures. It all starts from the beginning of time. From the start, lice have always loved jungle like places. For example, grass. That is where they commenced. They loved it there, they built forts, food storages, and all sorts of things. That is until the bug came around. It had wings the size of the grass and claws the size

Salicylates are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents that are widely used as antipyretic, analgesics, and anti-inflammatory products. Variety of prescriptions and over-the-counter preparations contain salicylates, therefore chronic dosing which can cause toxicity is a common emergency problem. Salicylates are weak acids and well absorbed from the stomach and small intestine. Peak plasma salicylate levels occur in 15 to 20 minutes after ingestion of therapeutic doses, whereas with overdose peak serum

Additionally, the patient had a sdecreased PaCO2 of 26 mm Hg and an elevated sPaO2 of 92 mm Hg, which scould be compensatory for the metabolic sacidosis. The patient has been taking ssalsalate and aspirin medications, which are common ssalicylates. Salicylate
