Forensic Chemistry of Drug Detection
PRODUCT DETAILS
Everyone who ate the school cafeteria’s chili became ill. Could someone have tainted the chili? You are a forensic toxicologist. It is you and your classmates’ task to determine if any of the chili ingredients from the cafeteria could have been substituted with aspirin, which appears to have been stolen from the nurse’s office. You will perform a series of chemical tests, including tests on control acetylsalicylic acid, the chemical name of aspirin, in the lab. This activity includes a teacher’s manual, student guide, and analysis copy-masters. Includes one bottle control acetylsalicylic acid, three bottles of chili ingredients, one bottle ferric nitrate (0.1M solution), one bottle Lugol’s iodine, and 15 microreaction plates. Enough material for 15 groups.
