Abstract Acetic Anhydride and p-Aminophenol were heated in a vial attached to an air condenser to synthesize crude acetaminophen‚ resulting in 0.097 grams (47.48% yield). The crude acetaminophen was then recrystallized in a solvent of water and methanol over heat resulting in 0.082 grams (39.61% yield) of pure acetaminophen. Melting points of both crude and pure acetaminophen were taken‚ and found to be 165.9 - 170.9°C and 168.2 - 171.5°C‚ respectively. The literature melting point of acetaminophen

Vol. 1 ACETIC ACID 115 ACETIC ACID 1. Introduction Acetic acid [64-19-7]‚ CH3COOH‚ is a corrosive organic acid having a sharp odor‚ burning taste‚ and pernicious blistering properties. It is found in ocean water‚ oilfield brines‚ rain‚ and at trace concentrations in many plant and animal liquids. It is central to all biological energy pathways. Fermentation of fruit and vegetable juices yields 2–12% acetic acid solutions‚ usually called vinegar (qv). Any sugar-containing sap or juice can

TEABAG EXTRACT AS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR INK An Investigatory Project Chapters 1- 3 Submitted by: Alfonso‚ Manuela Fairbanks Garcia‚ Tonica Paga Cho‚ Jung Hun Lat‚ Manuel Miguel Feliciano November 2013 Chapter I Introduction A. Background of the Study The group will conduct the study because the group noticed that teabag extract is dark in colour and it can be use to make ink‚ and also the group noticed that teabags are made from natural resources. Some kinds

Safety Precautions for Synthesis of Acetic Anhydride Acetic Anhydride Acetic anhydride is an irritant and also flammable‚ therefore gloves and goggles should be worn at all times during the experiment. It is reactive to water‚ so in the case of fire‚ alcohol foam or carbon dioxide is preferred to use as an extinguisher. This chemical has harmful fumes and use of a fume hood is strongly recommended. Sulphuric and Salicylic Acid These acids may irritate the skin in high concentrations. Take

relative purity of the synthesized sample by observing the melting point temperature range. The procedure performed in our experiment involved chemically reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in order to form acetyl salicylic acid. The limiting reactant in this chemical reaction was salicylic acid‚ with acetic anhydride present in excess in order to react with any water produced during the reaction of the reactants‚ and thus improve the yield of aspirin. The addition of a catalyst‚ 85% phosphoric

between acetic anhydride and ferrocene (once applying heat). During column chromatography‚ a solution is passed through a filtration system of silica‚ sand‚ and cotton. This creates colored or colorless bands‚ dependent on the type of chemical compound‚ and is comparable to a reverse TLC test. The differences in polarity pull down the compounds at different rates‚ allowing for the separation. Experimental: Dry‚ sublimed ferrocene (93 mg) was added to a reaction tube. Later‚ 0.35 mL of acetic anhydride

treating an amine (p-aminophenol) with an acetic anhydride. Color impurities present in the solid acetaminophen will be removed and then the decolorized product will be collected on a Büchner funnel for further purification by crystallization. Purity will then be determined by melting point. Introduction: Acetaminophen is commonly used as an analgesic to reduce pain and fever. In this experiment it is prepared by the reaction of p-aminophenol with acetic anhydride‚ as illustrated below. Results: Isolation
