P1 - Preparation of Aspirin Abstract This document is a report on the synthesis of aspirin. The report will include a detailed procedure of how to synthesis aspirin and the apparatus required. It will show how to interpret the results obtained giving a percentage yield as well as determining the purity of the aspirin produced by means of its melting point, and compare the effectiveness of the production with the actual production. It also draws conclusions and recommendations of how to improve the accuracy of the experiment. Information is given on the hazards and risk assessment. Executive Summary Aim - To prepare a sample of Acetyl Salicylic Acid, more commonly known under the trade name as Aspirin. This shall be done by using the chemicals Salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Following the preparation of the sample, the percentage yield and melting point of the final sample will be calculated. The melting point will determine...
