Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Equations that describe the extraction procedure of acetaminophen from an organic solvent such as ether should be written.

Concept introduction:

Acetaminophen is commonly known as paracetamol.It is used as an analgesic and antipyretic.IUPAC name of paracetamol is 4hydroxyacetanilide .its structure is given as,

  EBK MACROSCALE AND MICROSCALE ORGANIC E, Chapter 7, Problem 10Q

Extraction of drug like acetaminophen can be done withan appropriate choice of solvents. There are several techniques for the extraction ofthe drug. The commonly used methods include column chromatography and liquid-liquid extraction that is carried out in the presence of water and ether as the solvents. The difference in densities of water and ether allow them to form separate layers in a separatory funnel and thus allows the effective separation and isolation of caffeine.Experimental results reveal that paracetamol is soluble in acetone, ethanol.

Comparison of experimental data to “known” value. Monna and co-workers used radioactive isotopes to date sediments from lakes and estuaries.21 To verify this method they analyzed a 208Po standard known to have an activity of 77.5 decays/min, obtaining the following results.   77.09, 75.37, 72.42, 76.84, 77.84, 76.69, 78.03, 74.96, 77.54, 76.09, 81.12, 75.75   Do the results differ from the expected results at the 95% confidence interval?
Explain the difference between the propagated uncertainty and the standard deviation. Which number would you use to describe the uncertainty in the measurement? if the standard deviation is 0.01 and the propagated uncertainty is 0.03
Propagation of uncertainty. Find the absolute and percent relative uncertainty assuming the ±-values are random error. 7.65±0.04 + 5.28±0.02 – 1.12±0.01 85.6±0.9 × 50.2±0.7 ÷ 13.8±0.5 [4.88±0.07 + 3.22±0.05] / 1.53±0.02
