Question

Twenty tablets (labelled 300 mg aspirin per tablet) had a total mass of 6.9117 g. The tablets were powdered and 0.5423 g of powder was added to 30.0 mL 0.494 M sodium hydroxide solution and the mixture boiled gently for 10 minutes. The excess alkali in the cooled solution was titrated with 0.475 M hydrochloric acid solution and 20.25 mL required for neutralization. Given that aspirin (C9H8O4) and NaOH react in a 1:2 ratio calculate the percentage of aspirin as compared to the labelled claim.

Aspirin Mr(C9H8O4) = 180.2
