L Tr Ngha 1114135 Making Aspirin Today, were going to make a syntheses form salicylic acid.

That scientific name is aspirin. You make aspirin by combining salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. I want to weight out two grams, actually we have 2.027g. Record that number. Now we want to add between four and five milliliters liquid acetic anhydride. And you can see a little our salicylic acid in boat weight. So in other to make sure we get all in there. I am going to pour acetic anhydride around here, swirled around a boat and then get all erlen and rinse boat weight. Then mix. Next we had five drops of concentrated H2SO4 acid to make acid environment, and also control reaction a little faster . We want to keep a heat bit boiling on water bath for about ten minutes. After ten minutes you can see that color , have a survey yellow when take up it. Now were going to add ten milliliters of cold water. Now were going to put it into cold water bath. Rapidly, aspirin crystals were formed. You can see we have a lot of aspirin. Crystallize in our erlen. Now we need to do to filter out aspirin from the solution, and to do that; were going to use as side arm flask, section filter and this aspirator. The aspirator creates a low pressure inside container here. That will help gravity pull water and retain aspirin inside the funnel. Need to put a piece of filter paper inside out funnel. And when we turn water, the sea water running down. That running water creates the low pressure here. Please just a little water to make a nice tight cell. Pour aspirin solution into the funnel. Wash side of erlen to take all the aspirin into funnel. You can see here we have a lot of aspirin. Science want to make sure get it all. You clip the filter paper into our beaker. New interim spread with alcohol. This is an ethanol. We will reimburse crystal off of the paper with alcohol. Now we want to do spread aspirin, cleaning alcohol so that we can create crystallized. The crystallized allow us to get lager crystals of the seller suggested. Now were going to add sixty milliliters swarm water. Its cloudy when actually a little bit crystallization is occurring. Now we get to wait again. You need to give time for the crystals to form. Were going to put it back into ice water mix. In the weight a filter paper, the filter weight is 0.354 g, to make sure you record that number. I will place my filter paper in the funnel and set up my filtering aspirator again. Now we turn on a aspirator and pour out. Next we take down arrow filter paper with the aspirin on it. Now we have to set it aside and let it dry, Now we want to weight a dry filter paper and aspirin
