The purity of the aspirin sample is tested with
iron (III) chloride. A purple color resulting from
iron (III) chloride test indicates
the aspirin sample contains some unreacted
salicylic acid and the carboxylic acid group in
salicylic acid gives a purple color.
the structure of aspirin itself contains a
phenolic -OH group.
O the aspirin sample contains some unreacted
salicylic acid and the phenolic -OH group in
salicylic acid gives a purple color.
the aspirin sample contains some unreacted
salicylic acid and the ring structure in
salicylic acid gives a purple color.
