The main impurties are probably the unreacted reactants. i.e salicylic acid and some acetic anhydride (ethanoic anhydride)
salicylic acid
What is the effect of impurity of aspirin in humans body
pyridine is a base it accept hydrogen and forms pyridine hydrochloride in the synthesis of Aspirin
yes
unreacted salicylic acid
no, it is the combining of 2 acids into a new acid.
Synthesis of acetyl chloride via the reaction of acetic acid with sulphuric acid
To prevetn evaporation of salicylic acid
Aspirin (acetyl salycilic acid) is prepared from salycilic acid and acetic anhydride; salicylic acid is prepared from sodium phenoxide and carbon dioxide (Kolbe synthesis).
Certain Eicosanoids--M.S. Exercise Physiology
my preliminary aspirin synthesis result, although it is impure. however this is common. but no idea what is actually is!
To keep the solid part of a chemical mix you have made it is used for aspirin synthesis for example
if dissolved in water, it can be called an impurity.
