For the second group of the Aspirin Lab, we had one group that tested into the lab. Hopefully they pull through for the rest of us and make enough aspirin for the rest of our labs. When making aspirin, the mixture should be left in the boiling water for 15 minutes, and ICE water must be added to the reaction mixture after it cools for 3 minutes. This is because the warmer the water, the faster the reaction will occur. For a controlled reaction, adding ICE water will be fast and will also not explode all over and kill us all. Be Safe and wear goggles if you are participating in lab!
