Purpose
The purpose is to determine the chemical formula for aspirin synthesis, the
first step is to make salicylic acid with the willow bark. Then, one can perform
a full chemical analysis on the salicylic acid as well as acetylsalicylic acid
using a pH test and iron chloride test. Aspirin can also be synthesized with
willow bark extract.
Procedure
Gather materials
-Acetic Acid
-Iron Chloride
-Salicylic Acid
-Acetylsalicylic Acid
-Ethanol
-Willow bark
-Well plate
-Mini Spoon
-pH Paper
-Pipets
-Stir Rod
Label first two rows of Well plates A1-A6; B1-B6
Gather Salicylic Acid in the mini spoon for Well A1
Gather Acetylsalicylic Acid in the mini spoon for Well A2
Place Willow Bark in A6
Cover Willow Bark with Ethanol
Let Willow Bark and Ethanol soak for 30 minutes.
Place 15 drops of Ethanol to Well B1 and B2
Place 10 drops of Iron (III) Chloride to Well B3
Place 10 drops of Acetic Acid to Well B4
Use a blank piece of paper under Well Plate to notice any color changes
Document all observations in the Data Table
Gather 3 pipets label them “EtOH” ; “FeCl3” ; “AA”
Using the EtOH Pipet to transfer 10 drops from Well B1 to Well A1and stir for
a minute
Place the Stir Rod on the pH paper to test the solution. Then clean the Stir
Rod
Using the EtOH pipet again, transfer 10 drops from Well B2 to Well A2 and
repeat stirring and documenting pH

Using the FeCl3 pipet transfer only one drop of Iron(III) Chloride from Well B3
to Well A1 and document in Data Table
Next transfer one drop from B3 to A2 and record Data
Using the EtOH pipet and transfer 10 drops from Well A6 to A3. Mix and test
on pH paper and document observations.
Using the FeCl3 pipet transfer one drop of Iron(III) Chloride from Well B3 to
Well A3 and document observations.
Using the EtOH pipet and transfer 10 drops from Well A6 to Well A4
Using the FeCl3 pipet transfer one drop from Well B3 to Well A4
Using the AA pipet transfer a few drops from Well B4 to A4

Lab Questions
1.
A student is asked to analyze different aspirin tablets, and determine
which ones are past the expiration date. Which test could the student
employ, and what would the results show?
-
Using its melting point one can determine if the tablet is expired or
not.
2.
Could a student use fruit such as blueberries and blackberries as a source
of salicylic acid instead of willow bark? Why or why not?
-
No, they shouldn’t use fruits in this procedure due to the natural
sugars in fruit. The reaction that would occur because of the glucose
would not result in a pure aspirin.
3.
Why is the reaction to produce aspirin performed in the presence of iron
(III) chloride?

4
-
Since iron(III) chloride does not have a phenolic group, it is not able
to react with aspirin. Yet, iron(II) chloride can react with salicylic acid
to form a violet-colored complex because the phenolic group is
present in the salicylic acid. With this, it is used to determine the
aspirin's purity.
4.
List some experimental problems that could have occurred.
-
Some problems I would assume might alter the data is the amount
of Willow Bark used. Another would be if the Iron(III) Chloride wasn’t
shaken enough prior to dispensing.
Conclusions
In Conclusion, we were able to determine that salicylic acid is found in willow
bark, and it's been shown that it's created by this process. Acetyl acid is
made by acetylating salicylic acid, and it's different from salicylic acid in that
it has different properties and is used for different things.

BUFFERS
Introduction
A pH buffer is a solution that can minimize changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are
added to it.
Control of pH is very important for chemical reactions in living systems. Our blood pH is about 7.4,
and changes of a few tenths of a pH unit either way can cause serious health consequences. The
blood has a buffer system to help regulate pH.

If you react benzoic acid with a base, the resulting ion will be soluble in water. If you add HCl to this solution, the solution immediately turns cloudy. What is the reason for this observation?
The HCl returns the proton to the ion. The resulting benzoic acid compound is not soluble in water.
HCl is a cloudy solution
The ion of benzoic acid is not soluble due to the nonpolar portion of the molecule.
Because HCl is an acid and donates protons, reaction with HCl can make the solution cloudy.
