Lab Questions
1. A student is asked to analyze different aspirin tablets, and determine which
ones are past the expiration date. Which test could the student employ, and
what would the results show?

2. Could a student use fruit such as blueberries and blackberries as a source of
salicylic acid instead of willow bark? Why or why not?
3. Why is the reaction to produce aspirin performed in the presence of iron (III)
chloride?

Lab Questions
1. Give 3 examples of chiral objects from everyday life (not body parts).
2. Describe what is a racemic mixture. Does it have any effect on plane
polarized light shining through it? Why or why not?
3. Can any of the compounds on the table exhibit Z/E configuration? If yes,
draw and identify the Z/E isomers.
4. Is the configuration of 1,1-difluoroallene the same as 1,3-difluoroallene? Why
or why not?
