Innovating Science™ A Greener Synthesis of Acetyl-Salicylic Acid Kit

Description

Innovating Science™ A Greener Synthesis of Acetyl-Salicylic Acid Kit produces acetylsalicylic acid from a naturally occurring, renewable resource. Students will synthesize the components and examine their product with a simple confirmation test.

• This kit shows students that it is possible to produce acetylsalicylic acid from a naturally-occurring, renewable resource
• Students will convert sodium salicylate to salicylic acid, collect and dry prepared salicylic acid
• Then, they will use a quick confirmatory test to examine for the presence of salicylic acid
• The prepared salicylic acid can then be used to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid
• Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups
• Teacher’s Manual and Student Study Guide copy masters are included
