Written report discussing the purity of my aspirin sample I produced. When I carried out the experiment to produce an aspirin sample I had to take a few results I had gained from carrying out the experiment later used these to work out the experimental error and percentage % yield. The results I used where […]

A. Abstract Aspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid, widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. The first part of the experiment aims to synthesize aspirin from the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride with the aid of phosphoric acid as a catalyst. The second part of […]
