Abstract | A new laboratory experiment is described in which students compare two benchtop separation methods to isolate the three active components of the commercial analgesic Excedrin. In the two-week sequence, aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine are separated using either a two-base liquid-liquid extraction or silica column chromatography. Students then evaluate the two separation methods based on percent recoveries and on purity, as determined by thin-layer chromatography. This procedure introduces three important techniques using a single theme. The experiment has been designed to minimize cost of chemicals and hazardous waste generation, while challenging students to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different purification techniques.
