Esterification Reaction
An acid anhydride (or carboxylic acid) react with alcohols to form esters
Anhydride is
water removed from an acid
FeCl3 reacts with what to turn purple
phenol group
What makes salicylic acid unable to be consumed directly
-OH group (alcohol). Phenolic hydroxyl group
Acetic acid is a part of what food
vinegar
Ace-tyl-sali-cylic acid
Ace-tyl-sali-cylic acid
Spell the thing that is produced when salicylic acid and acetic anhydride combine
Ace-tyl-sali-cylic acid
Salicylic acid is a benzene ring with a
alcohol group and a carboxyl acid
Do NOT call -OH what
DO NOT call it hydroxide
Acetic anhydride is an ___ anhydride
acid anhydride
An alcohol group attached to a benzene ring is called
a phenol
Alcohol is a __ acid
Weak
A phenol is a ____ acid
Strong
All the negative side effects are linked to what
The hydroxyl group
The hydrogen from the alcohol group on salicylic acid attaches to what
The carbon on acetic anhydride
What are the products of this esterification reaction
Acetic acid and acetylsalicylic acid
The esterification reaction is jump started by what
An acid (H2So4)
Phenol group gets converted into
An ester
Why is it called acetylsalicylic acid and not just an ester
Because it still has a carboxylic acid
What is a lachrymator
A eye and nasal irritant
Concentrated sulfuric acid jump starts the reaction because
its a strong acid and a strong oxidizer
Concentrated sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizer and what
A strong acid
The reason the aspirin creation has to happen in ice water is because
Cold lower solubility, allowing crystals to form
What was the goal of the 3rd lab
To find the % of salicylic acid in commercial medication
