  • Aspirin is synthesized from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride using concentrated sulfuric acid as the catalyst. The purity of the synthesized aspirin is measured using the ferric chloride test as well as obtaining an FTIR spectrum.
    The following lab techniques are demonstrated:
    Using a warm water bath
    Scratching glass to induce crystallization
    Vacuum filtration
    Recrystallization
    Ferric chloride (FeCl3) test for phenol
    FT-IR analysis

    Do you have to use the Acid Catalyst if given more time? Have subbed good information

    Hello! Can you upload the result of the FITR analysis? It would be a great help. Thank you.

    Professor Smith, thank you! Can we skip the water bath and put it directly on the hot plate?

    • @RoxiHulet
      @RoxiHulet  Před 3 lety +4

      It depends on how much water or aqueous solvent you have in the flask. If there is only a small amount of aqueous substance in the flask, putting it directly on the hot plate may cause the reactants to heat up too fast and decompose. This is why a water bath is used for this particular synthesis.
      If there is a lot of aqueous solvent, the high heat capacity of water makes it safe to put the flask directly on the hot plate without worrying about decomposition of your reactants.

    why doesnt aspirin dissolve completey in water like the medicine does? wouldthe acetic anhydride react with the water and form acetic acid?

    • @RoxiHulet
      @RoxiHulet  Před 2 lety +1

      Aspirin isn’t very soluble in water. You can only dissolve about 0.3 g aspirin in 100 mL of water. When you dissolve an aspirin tablet in water, what you observe is mostly just the binder material dissolving, not the actual aspirin molecule.
      And yes, acetic anhydride will form acetic acid when combined with water. I don’t use water in this reaction.
