Aspirin Lab Day 2

Day 2 consisted of isolating the product. We did this by using a Buchner funnel and filter paper as shown in the picture below.
Day 2 Set-Up

We emptied the contents of our beaker from day one that crystalized over night into the funnel and rinsed it with ice cold water then let the water suction out for a few minutes. We used tweezers to remove the filter paper with the product on it and set it in a watch glass to transport to its drying area.

  1. Lauren, I was looking for someone who completed a post about the Aspirin lab, for I failed the pre lab quiz. I really didn't have a great idea what was going on in the aspirin lab. Your post out of the others that had posted really breaks the aspirin lab quite well explains the procedure more in depth. If I had access to your lab post before the pre lab, I would have passed the pre lab quiz, that is how well your blog explains the lab. Keep up the great work!
