Post 1 Measurements

We started the aspirin lab yesterday and finished up today. Using salicylic acid mixed with acetic anhydride, then boiled in a hot water bath before condensing into crystals that are later rinsed through ice cold water before being drained and left to dry on day 2. My partner and I had not dissolved the acids properly before boiling resulting in the salicylic acid burning and turning an icky green resulting in yellow crystals. Regardless, it was a fun lab. Now we are just waiting for the results after fall break.

Today we did the radioactivity quiz over half-life, radioactive decay, and reviewing atoms and nomenclature. Here is a video link with a general review over half-life and radioactive decay.
