It is most commonly sold in the form of tablets and capsules but can also be administered/ingested as suppositories, soluble powders, and liquids (ADF, 2021). ]]> 2022-08-18 06:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264122857 Balanced chemical equation for paracetamol synthesis 100116933 https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264129408 C6H7NO + C4H6O3  -->  C8H9NO2 + C2H4O2 ]]> 2022-08-18 07:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264129408 Context: How it is currently made 100116933 https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264130030 The current chemical equation used to produce paracetamol involving the reactants, p-Aminophenol and acetic anhydride which react to produce acetaminophen (paracetamol) and acetic acid]]> 2022-08-18 07:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264130030 References 100116933 https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264130299 Acetaminophen - American Chemical Society.

However it wasn't until 1993 that it clinically used by German physician Joseph von Mering (Prescott, 2000).]]> 2022-08-18 07:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264140801 Diagram representation of chemical equation using skeletal structures 100116933 https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264143079 2022-08-18 07:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264143079 What's special about paracetamol 100116933 https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264335617 Paracetamol is recommended as one of the first treatments to be used for mild pain relief. While some users may encounter side effects depending on their diet and other medicine they may be using, taking the suggested dosage doesn't impose large risks. This is what makes it a safer pain killer as opposed to stronger ones such as opioids and antidepressants (Health  Direct, n.d.). 

It is important to remember that it still carries risks as you can overdose on it and it will likely have an effect on other medication you could be taking. ]]> 2022-08-18 12:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264335617 Why I have chosen this topic 100116933 https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264373785 Sometime during high school medicine and the research of diseases became very interesting to me, especially conditions such as cancer, AIDS, and others which are severe and hard to cure. I have decided to discuss paracetamol synthesis because the synthesis of any medicine will be a important part of my career if I continue, and medicinal drugs are obviously one of the most important factors in treating patients. ]]> 2022-08-18 13:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264373785 Key Variables in Mole calculation 100116933 https://padlet.com/100116933/gakkqm2nygjjtjq6/wish/2264407567 Below are the variables that mole calculations consist of and their coefficients used in equations:
n = number of moles
M = Molar Mass (grams per mole or g/mol)
m = mass (grams)
C = concentration (moles per Litre or mol/L)
V = Volume (Litres)
