All About Aspirin: (7 points; Each question is worth 1 point)
Answer the following questions. Most of the information can be found on the Aspirin
Adventures Homepage.
1. What is the chemical name for aspirin?
The common chemical name for aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid.
2. Is aspirin found in nature? If so, where?
Yes, the bark of the willow tree and other plants, like the American teaberry
plant.
3. If aspirin is not found in nature, from what materials is it made?
There were not enough willow trees and teaberry plants around to produce enough
salicylic acid so chemists learned to make salicylic acid from coal tar. Today however,
salicylic acid is usually made from petroleum.
4. Is aspirin a solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature?
Solid
5. Name the atoms or an arrangement of atoms in aspirin that gives it its properties, or
makes the molecule useful? Locate the atoms on your model.
6. Can you buy aspirin from a chemical supply catalog? If not, can you buy the ingredients
needed to make aspirin? If so, how much would 1 kg cost? Sigma-Aldrich Chemical
Supplies
You cannot buy aspirin from a chemical supply catalog, but you can buy the
ingredient of salicylic acid. Depending on the purity of the acid, the cost may
vary. This specific one would cost about $278.00 per kg.
7. Is aspirin toxic? If so, how much of it would you need to kill an adult rhinoceros? Hint:
the rhinoceros weighs 2000 kg.
Yes, aspirin is toxic and it would take about 2000 kg of aspirin to kill a rhinoceros
that weighs 2000kg.
