Lab 14 – The Determination of aspirin in a Bayer tablet

Lab 14 will be a lab and a test.  You will be graded on how your lab group will design a lab (back titration) to determine the milligrams of aspirin in a single bayer tablet.  You will design the lab in the same fashion as I designed the TUMS lab using YOUR arbitrary values that you design..  Last weeks form of Aleve you completed an assignment that was a theoretical lab that determined the milligrams of another active ingredient.  You may want to revisit that form or its key. Hint: Both are weak acids. 

You will determine the milligrams of aspirin by using 2 tablets of Bayer. Please look at the molecular structures of aspirin below to begin your lab design.  Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) gets hydrolyzed into 2 components in water.                                                                                                                                                                                             
This is a slow reaction that can be increased by temperature and excess chemical (Le Chateliers principle).
Identification of organic acids can done by Table R in our Regents Chemistry reference tables:                                   
The mechanism for the hydrolysis of aspirin is as follows:
 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Lab 14 – Aspirin Lab Test Requirements:
a:  Using the Google Doc that is shared individually that I have sent, start determining the procedure necessary to determine the amount of aspirin in a Bayer tablet.
 
                                            USE THE TUMS LAB AS A GUIDE and the Aleve form as your guide!
 
b:  Understanding Lab 13 will help here. You need to figure out what chemicals you need and what their Molarities will need to be to successfully titrate aspirin.  
 
You will need to complete preliminary calculations that will determine the theoretical amount of the other chemicals needed to perform the titration, in the same fashion as we did with Lab 13.  
    
c:  You will perform the titration and determine the milligrams of the active ingredient per tablet as a lab group in a later date.
 
d:  I will look over your procedure and preliminary calculations and give you the go ahead to  perform the Lab test.
 
e: In your Shared Lab group Doc, I expect
 
            In this Lab Test I am require the following:

 

                           1. Title Page.

                           2. Objective.

                           3. materials

 1. Begin your Lab 14 write-up.  I have shared a google doc with you to complete the assignment with. The requirements are given above. Please get on this as I will be moving on to the next stoichiometry topic very soon.  Our next connecting idea is volumetric titrations with redox reactions. It is very similar with acid base titrations except we are not matching protons with hydroxides. We are matching the electrons lost to the electrons gained.

Notes For the Homework:                                                                                                             

Connections:
The Balancing of complex Redox equations was a skill that was introduced this summer. We are revisiting redox again!  It was introduced early in the year to splash you into the course, using voltaic cells (batteries) and electrolytic cells (electrolysis and electroplating). Now we will focus on redox reactions that are NOT part of a electrochemical cell and these complex reactions will make more sense when we balance them with the college method.  This method still works for our simple half reactions that we saw in September but will provide more insight on their structure.  Most of these complex redox reactions require an acidic or basic environment so it makes sense that I reintroduce them now, after we have studied acid/base concepts.
 
Most chemical reactions are redox in nature and I want To Do more stoichiometry Labs with redox in the analytical chemistry section of the course.  
 
When you think about it most chemical reactions are either redox, acid/base, or precipitation reactions and through our work together we have studied all three since September.
 
Redox:
 
3 Mn+2 (aq)  +    CrO7-2 (aq)   +   2H+(aq)     —–>   3 MnO2 (s)  +    2Cr+3 (aq)   +    H2O (l)   
                                                                                                                precipitate
 
Acid Base:
 
                 NH3  (aq)  +    CO2 (aq)   +    H2O (l)  —->   HCO3-1 (aq)    +    NH4+  (aq)
               base                    acid                   
 
 
Precipitation Reaction:
 
                                     Ca+2 (aq) +    CO3 -2  (aq)   —–>   CaCO3 (s)
                                                                                                  precipitate
 
Now most reactions are one of these three types but as you can see above sometimes these reactions are a combination of each other.  Notice that in the Redox reaction we have protons H+ (acid/base) and in the example above a precipitate ( MnO2 (s)  ) is made.  Redox reactions can also occur in Basic conditions as well.
 
Your homework will include balancing redox reactions in acidic and basic solutions.  Why?  Remember that protons produced by acids will pull electrons from chemical species that will spontaneously lose (oxidize) or AND hydroxides produced by bases will push its electrons onto chemical species that will spontaneously accept (reduce) them.  The acid/base component of the complex redox equation that we will balance tonight is required to drive these reactions to completion. In order to use stoichiometry we need reactions to be driven forward till the limiting reactant runs out!  We need to stay way from equilibrium!
 
ALSO the first 2 steps of the hydrolysis of aspirin is actually a redox reaction catalyzed by the presence of a the hydroxide ion!!!!   Protons (H+) also catalyze these complex redox reactions and so we will learn (review from the summer) how to balance these advanced redox reactions in the presence of Acid or Base!!

Period 3/4: 

1. Final Lab 14 comments and discussion

2. Redox 2.0 begins

3. Table T

Today’s Notes:

1.  Lets continue our discussion with more Redox reactions that require acidic or basic conditions.
 
Lets remember that oxidizing agent or the oxidizer is a chemical that drives others chemical into oxidizing (losing electrons).
    
                         The oxidizing agent gets reduced gains electrons as it forces other chemicals to lose electrons.
                                                           
 
Strong Oxidizers or oxidizing agents are easily identified by their arrangement of electron sinks.  Usually a group of very electronegative oxygens surrounded by a highly charged positive ion (that is small) . Due to Coulomb’s law, these chemical force chemicals to lose electrons and and can be very dangerous.
 
Examples: KMnO4 , KCr2O7 , H2O2 , KNO3, NH4ClO4
Ammonium dichromate, (NH4)2Cr2O7, decomposes when heated to produce chromium(III) oxide [Cr2O3], nitrogen gas, and water vapor:   
             

(NH4)2Cr2O7(s)  ——>  Cr2O3(s)  +  N2(g)  +  4H2O(g)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I have included some of these strong oxidizers like dichromate ion above into the Standard net potential table that I gave you earlier this year:                                                                                                                                                   
Table T with Net potential table 1718.pdf
                                                                                                                                                                                                      The proton that is dissociated from acids is heat sinking missile for the loosely held electrons of metal and it causes the oxidation (loss of electron) of the metal and thus H+ is the oxidizing agent.  It however it not strong enough to pull electrons from all metals.
 
The standard cell experiment that helped us determine the voltages of the half reactions in the Standard Reduction Table uses the proton (H+) as the oxidizer to force the other chemical  reduce BUT it is not strong enough to make all chemical oxidize and thus explains why there is change in the signs in the standard reduction table around the reaction with protons (H+):
 

Notice the that 2 protons oxidize other chemicals and thus gain 2 electrons to produce hydrogen gas.

Notice that all half reactions below it have negative standard potentials because these half reactions are MORE spontaneous in the Reverse Reaction thus they are better at getting oxidized, which means the proton is ONLY a strong enough oxidizing agent to those chemicals (metals) on the right and below the standard cell half reaction.

This means acids that only produce protons can only produce hydrogen gas with those metals reactive enough (below it ).

Example:  HCl can produce hydrogen gas with Pb  (E0cell = 0.13) but not with Cu (E0cell = – 0.34)

 

New York State uses Table J instead of a “real Net potential table’!
So copper is not reactive in acids?? Well its not reactive with protons BUT it will reactive with its conjugate base that is actually a oxidizing agent!
From the last August Chemistry Regents:

Lab 15 – The Determination of the Concentration Oxalic  Acid                                                                          by a Volumetric Redox Titration

Leafy greens, legumes, and most other plant foods contain a nutrient called oxalate or oxalic acid. It’s a naturally occurring chemical you get through your diet. The body also produces it as waste. Foods rich in oxalates also contain other nutrients that your body needs for good health.  

When oxalic acid mixes with other minerals, it forms oxalate. People regularly use the two terms interchangeably to refer to the same thing.  Your body produces oxalate and also gets it from food sources. Vitamin C changes to oxalate when your body processes it.

When you consume foods containing oxalate, the compound attaches itself to minerals to make other minerals. These include iron oxalate and calcium oxalate. The process happens in the colon most of the time and sometimes in the kidneys.

The body then removes the elements through stool or urine. For people with high levels of sensitivity, diets high in oxalates can cause kidney stones. They also increase their risk of other health problems.

Lab 15 – Titration of Oxalic acid.pdf
 
                                                                                                                                                                                       MnO4–    is a purple compound due to the Mn+7 ion and when it gets reduced (gains electrons by
                                                                                                                                                                                     acting as an oxidizing agent) and Mn+2 is colorless.    This is significant as we can use the color change to reach an equivalence point IN TERMS of Electrons to end the redox titration.  That is when the purple persists from the titrant (MnO4– ) for at least 30 seconds all moles  the electrons from the oxalic acid have been transferred to the MnO4–.
         
 We are not using an acid base indicator!  We are using a property of metal ions that have high charges = crystal field theory.  Crystal field theory provides colors to metals that have high coulombic attractions. Metals that a have high enough charge to create this affect are transitional.

                                                                purple                   colorless
 
Because the KMnO4 is a very strong oxidizing agent (1.52 volts) we need to standardize it to know exactly what its concentration is BEFORE we titrate the oxalic acid because it can pull electrons from many chemicals (that are below it and to the right in the standard reduction table).

Today’s Lesson: sort of ..(I spent more time with the Hw review to Link Back titrations in the homework with the back titrations in the LAB!!! Come together…..

Reactivity series Lab  – Acid added to metals (the action of acid is actually a redox reaction):

 
                                               Metal(s)  +   2 HCl    =>    Metal Chloride (aq)  +  H2 (g)
 
                             Ex:    Mg (s)  +  2HCl   =>  MgCl2 (aq)   +   H2 (g)
 
             NET ION:      Mg(s)  +     2H+   =>  Mg+2  +   H2 (g) 
 
The proton is a heat sinking missile for the loosely held electrons of the metal and it cause the oxidation (loss of electron) of the metal and thus H+ is the oxidizing agent.  It however it not strong enough to pull electrons from all metals.  The standard reduction potential table OR unfortunately Table J can tell us the reactivity of the proton of the metal.

 

Reactivity of metals in HCl and water Demo/lab:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The reactivity of metals in acid and water (their ability to oxidize) can be predicted by both Standard Reduction Table and the Table J.

 

 

Oxidation of a Post 1981 – Penny Demo –
Penny Demo:
 
Using our understanding spontaneity we can hollow out a post 1981 penny.
 
The proton is heat sinking missile for the loosely held electrons of the metal and it cause the oxidation (loss of electron) of the metal and thus H+ is the oxidizing agent.  It however it not strong enough to pull electrons from all metals.

 

 

3: Silver plate non tarnish demo:
 
There are 2 reactions in this reaction that removes the tarnish (rust) from the oxidation effect of sulfur in our air that usually results from the breakdown of organic matter (dead animals and plants).
 
Silver exposed to Air that has hydrogen sulfide:  2 Ag(s) + H2S(g) —> Ag2S(s) + H2(g)
                                                                                                                      tarnish
 
#1                        3 Ag2S(s) + 2 Al(s)+ 3 H2O(l) —> 6 Ag(s) + Al2O3(s) + 3 H2S(aq)
 
 
#2                         3 NaHCO3(aq) + 3 H2S(aq) —-> 3 NaHS(aq) + 3 H2O(l) + 3 CO2(g)
 
 
What type of reactions are these?
 
 
4: Underwater fireworks:
 
#1                2KMnO4 (s)  +  16HCl  —> 2 KCl   +  2MnCl2 (aq)  +  8 H2O (l)  +  5Cl2 (g)
 
#2                              CaC2   +   2H2O  —>  C2H2   +   Ca(OH)2
 
#3                              C2H2   +    Cl2   —>   2HCl  +   2C   +   heat (light)

Lab 15 – The Determination of the Concentration Oxalic  Acid                                                                          by a Volumetric Redox Titration

Leafy greens, legumes, and most other plant foods contain a nutrient called oxalate or oxalic acid. It’s a naturally occurring chemical you get through your diet. The body also produces it as waste. Foods rich in oxalates also contain other nutrients that your body needs for good health.  

When oxalic acid mixes with other minerals, it forms oxalate. People regularly use the two terms interchangeably to refer to the same thing.  Your body produces oxalate and also gets it from food sources. Vitamin C changes to oxalate when your body processes it.

When you consume foods containing oxalate, the compound attaches itself to minerals to make other minerals. These include iron oxalate and calcium oxalate. The process happens in the colon most of the time and sometimes in the kidneys.

The body then removes the elements through stool or urine. For people with high levels of sensitivity, diets high in oxalates can cause kidney stones. They also increase their risk of other health problems.

                                                                                                                                                                                       MnO4–    is a purple compound due to the Mn+7 ion and when it gets reduced (gains electrons by
                                                                                                                                                                                     acting as an oxidizing agent) and Mn+2 is colorless.    This is significant as we can use the color change to reach an equivalence point IN TERMS of Electrons to end the redox titration.  That is when the purple persists from the titrant (MnO4– ) for at least 30 seconds all moles  the electrons from the oxalic acid have been transferred to the MnO4–.
         
 We are not using an acid base indicator!  We are using a property of metal ions that have high charges = crystal field theory.  Crystal field theory provides colors to metals that have high coulombic attractions. Metals that a have high enough charge to create this affect are transitional.

                                                                MnO4–    ——>    Mn+2
                                                                purple                   colorless
 
Because the KMnO4 is a very strong oxidizing agent (1.52 volts) we need to standardize it to know exactly what its concentration is BEFORE we titrate the oxalic acid because it can pull electrons from many chemicals (that are below it and to the right in the standard reduction table).
