Aspirin

with acetylsalicylic acid which is now known under the household name of “Aspirin” (Kimbrough 8). But aspirin has many more uses than just pain relief, it can deal with inflammation and fever reduction. While many people believe that aspirin and ibuprofen are the same drug, they have different chemical makeups but are all part of a group called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAI) drugs. It is important to know why aspirin provides the relief that it does so that it’s users can know how it…

A Penny And Aspirin On Cut Flowers I. INTRODUCTION This report presents an experiment of trying to figure out what different variables make cut flowers survive longer. In this experiment I will be taking cut flowers and placing them into different plastic cups with different objects inside the cups. The objects are aspirin, a penny, and normal tap water. I know that putting a penny in the water causes oxygen to flow through the water into the flower. I also know that putting aspirin in the water…

EXTRACTION OF A KNOWN MIXTURE Separation of mixture of Acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and naphthalene Experiment # 6 Introduction A technique called extraction will be demonstrated in this experiment. Extraction relies on the solubility of substances into solvents and the insolubility of the solvents into each other. In this experiment, three organic compounds (aspirin and naphthalene) will be separated from each other. The two compounds are all soluble in ethyl ether (an organic solvent). By…

to be one of those millions of people and maybe if she would’ve taken an aspirin everyday, she would still be here. They say that there is not a cure for cancer but there is ways to prevent or even help it. Taking an aspirin a day can lower yours or a loved one's chances of getting cancer or any other deadly illnesses. To begin, we should go back in time to understand where aspirin first was introduced to the world. Aspirin has been around since ancient times and has been used to treat pains…

temperature on the time it takes for an aspirin tablet to dissolve. Hypothesis: The boiling water will have the quickest time to dissolve the aspirin tablet. This is because its molecules have more energy and are vibrating more rapidly than the cold water. Cold tap water will have the slowest time to dissolve the aspirin tablet because it has the least kinetic energy. Why? Apparatus: Equipment: Image Kenwood Kettle Pyrex Measuring Jug Mayne Pharma 100mg Aspirin Tablet Thermometer…

www.consumerreports.com) NSAIDs are commonly used to treat pain and reduce fever and inflammation by reducing the amount of prostaglandins the body makes. Aspirin is a stellar example of an NSAID. (“Pain Relievers: Understanding Your OTC Options” www.familydoctor.org) To control inflammation, aspirin must be ingested. After ingestion, aspirin is absorbed rapidly from the stomach and small intestine…

for complete dissolution of the aspirin. Using a syringe driven filter device, the solution was filtered to get rid of the insoluble excipients like talc contained in the aspirin tablet. A pipette was used to transfer 0.2ml of the stock solution into six (6) different 10ml volumetric flasks. The volumetric flasks were labelled 1 to 6 accordingly. Standard Aspirin preparation: 100mg of standard aspirin crystals was weighed carefully using a weighing balance. The aspirin crystals was transferred…

faster effect to dissolve an aspirin than many other liquids that don’t have carbonization.” In this experiment, I am testing which of the following liquids Sprite,Coke,7-Up,Fanta,Ginger Ale,Water,Lemonade, Club Soda, or Orange Juice will dissolve a coated aspirin and an uncoated aspirin the quickest to result in the fastest relief possible. There are many things that may affect the results such as pH level and if a drink that is carbonized will dissolve the aspirin quicker.The topic of this…

limiting reagent and calculate the percent yield of the esterification reaction used to produce aspirin. This reaction was catalyzed by concentrated H2SO4, but since it is not consumed during the reaction, it does not affect the stoichiometric calculations. In order to determine the limiting reagent, the moles of reactants were calculated (Part A). Part B of the calculations illustrates the amount of aspirin produced by each reactant based on 1:1 mole ratio defined by the balanced equation of…

The Effects of Varied Substances on a Daphnia’s Heart Rate. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to compare the resting heart rate of a Daphnia, to its heart rate after 5 different substances were tested on it: Aspirin, Nasal Spray, Alka Seltzer, Coffee and Tea. Daphnia’s are often used as an experimental animal in lab settings because they are small, have a short life span and are easily maintained, only needing water to survive. For this specific lab, it was important…
