Abstract Details

2018, Honors Theses, Ohio Dominican University, Honors Theses.
Thermometric titrimetry has been used by many scientists as a means of determining the end-point of a reaction in acid-base and oxidation-reduction chemistry. Acetaminophen is an effective method for deterring pain in an individual, therefore, we sought to develop a unique relationship between the weight of sodium hypochlorite added to acetaminophen and the temperature from the heat that evolves from this reaction. One gram of acetaminophen was reacted with varying weights of sodium hypochlorite. As the weight increased, so did the average temperature change; yet, the average change of temperature per gram of bleach decreased, indicating that the temperature evolved from the reaction is dependent on the combined weights of the two reactants. Thus, we have effectively demonstrated an inexpensive and useful means of further determining the quality of acetaminophen via an inexpensive reaction combined with an inexpensive apparatus.
