    Percent Acetic Acid in Vinegar Introduction: Acetic acid is reactive when combined with calcium carbonate. In this lab‚ we will use vinegar for its acetic acid and egg shells for their calcium carbonate. Marketable vinegar differs in its acetic acid concentration from 4-6%. Calcium carbonate reacts with the acetic acid in vinegar to produce carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and calcium acetate as represented by the equation: CaCO3 + 2HC2H3O2 CO2 + H2O + Ca(C2H3O2)2. The calcium carbonate reacts with

    Procedure 8 Results 10 Calculations 14 Discussion 20 Conclusion 21 Recommendations 21 References 22 Appendices 22 Abstract This experiment was performed in order to determine the molarity of a solution and the percent by mass of acetic acid‚ CH3COOH in vinegar. Acetic acid is monoprotic and belongs to the carboxyl family of organic compounds. The titration method is used to neutralize the acids by using the standardized sodium hydroxide solution. It reacts with bases which is sodium hydroxide‚ NaOH

    2013 VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Aspirin is prepared by the esterification of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride under acidic conditions. The phenol group in salicylic acid is replaced by a carboxyl group through electrophilic substitution. The mechanism for the reaction can be summarized as follows: Figure 11.4. Mechanism for the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride to form acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) In this experiment‚ 85% phosphoric acid (H3PO4)‚ a strong acid

    [1]‚ commonly known as aspirin‚ through the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride under acidic conditions provided by sulphuric acid. Once the reaction was completed the samples’ yield and melting point were determined for comparison to industrial perimeters. The equation below outlines the overall reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Note that acetyl salicylate is a synonym of aspirin and acetic acid is a by-product. Aspirin is one of the safest pain relievers

    acid and acetic anhydride; in the presence of sulfuric acid. After fully dissolving the salicylic acid with acetic anhydride‚ the solution is cooled and cold water is then added. Once the crystals form they are then filtered and left to dry out. There mass is measured and recorded then the yield is calculated. Introduction: Purpose: The aim of this experiment is to synthesize the common pain killer aspirin through an esterification reaction between Salicylic Acid and Acetic Anhydride; using

    salicylic acid to acetic anhydride‚ the starting materials. Instead of using acetic acid‚ acetic anhydride was used as solvent since the anhydride reacting with water to form acetic acid tends to drive the reaction to the right. It results from the elimination of a molecule of water from two molecules of acetic acid (see Fig. 11.2). Figure 11.3 below shows the balanced chemical reaction of the synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid. Figure 11.2. Structure of Acetic Anhydride

    is to synthesize a common organic product called acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)‚ and to become familiar with the optimum conditions needed for successful yields. Aspirin is produced from an acid catalyzed reaction between salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. The crystalline aspirin is synthesized and purified by recrystallization‚ although there is not a hundred percent yield due to sources of error. Introduction Aspirin is a medicine commonly found in households around the world. It also is one

    acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester‚ and to make aspirin. Synthesis of Acetylsalicylic Acid occurs by protonation of carbonyl (C=O) group‚ and a nucleophilic attack of OH on the acetic anhydride. The ferric chloride test and melting point were used to test the purity of the results.
