    there was Charles Frederic Gerhardt. Gerhardt made Aspirin by deactivating salicylic acid and mixing sodium salicylate and acetyl chloride. Gerhardt, was not the first person to formulate Salicin into an acid, but he was the last. There was a version of Salicin that was an acid before Gerhardt’s. The needle acid form was developed by Raffaele Piria. In this form Piria would divide the salicin and eventually turn it into an acid. Earlier, a scientist named Henri Leroux, found a way to obtain Salicin

    inserted a capillary tube containing approximately 2 to 3 mm of benzoic acid into a manual Mel-Temp melting point apparatus. With the Mel-Temp dial set between 3 and 4, the temperature increased at a steady rate of approximately 2° C per minute from a plateau set at 90° C. The first appearance of liquid occurred at 119° C, and the benzoic acid completely melted by 122° C giving a melting point range of 119° C to 122° C for benzoic acid. Repeating the procedure for 2-naphthol returned a melting point

    In time, the corns on toes and feet will begin to decrease and disappear. For those who find their corns too troublesome, the application of a salicylic acid solution may the be answer. Salicylic acid comes in liquid form or in an ointment, both can help loosen the corn making it easier to remove. After cleaning the feet thoroughly, apply the salicylic acid with cotton buds twice each week and attach a medicated strip over the treated area to protect the corns. There are corn pads that can be purchased

    water to form carbonic acid, which then breaks into CO2(g). Aspirin, Alka-seltzer, and Tylenol showed up acidic from the Universal indicator, whereas sodium bicarbonate and the unknown were blue and basic. This is because sodium is a non-reactive ion, as it is part of NaOH, a strong base, where as bicarbonate attaches to H+ ions to form carbonic acid, thus increasing OH- concentration and pH. On the other hand, Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, forms salicylic acid and acetic acid, lowering pH. Alka-seltzer

    increase per milligram after its expiration date? Overtime, the concentration of acid in a low dose aspirin tablet increases, as the concentration of acid in a high dose aspirin tablet decreases. However, due to various experimental errors, the claim is not a strong and compelling one. What is assumed to have happened is that both low dose aspirin tablets and high dose aspirin tablets increase in concentration of acid as the expiration is surpassed. Four different tablets (two new and two expired):

    Acid Base Extraction The purpose of this laboratory assignment was two-fold, first, we were to demonstrate the extraction of acids and bases, finally, determining what unknowns were present. Second, we were to extract caffeine from tea. These two assignment will be documented in two separate entities. Introduction: Acid/base extraction involves carrying out simple acid/base reactions in order to separate strong organic acids, weak organic acids neutral organic compounds and basic organic substances

    Colorimeter A colorimeter is a piece of equipment that is used to measure the concentration of dilute solutions (intensity of light). The colorimeter is mainly used to determine the concentration of a known solute (chemical that is placed into a solvent and dissolved) in a given solution by using Beer-Lambert’s Law which states that the concentration of a solute is proportional to the absorbance. According to Beer’s law, “when monochromatic light passes through the coloured solution, the amount

    that sucrose would not be able to dissolve if Panacetin was directly dissolved in the DCM. Aspirin however, is insoluble in water but it is known to contain a carboxylic acid group so it then will be able to react with sodium bicarbonate that is why the aspirin was recovered by reacting the conjugate base with hydrochloric acid. Finally, both Acetanilide and Phenacetin did not consist of an acidic hydrogen so instead they did not react with
