O OH

Aspirin

(a) A student uses the reaction of aspirin with cold NaOH(aq) to determine the mass of aspirin in
one tablet.

In this reaction, 1 mol of aspirin reacts with 1 mol of cold NaOH(aq).

The student’s method is outlined below.

Step 1 The student reacts three aspirin tablets with 100 cm3 of 0.500 mol dm–3 NaOH(aq).
The NaOH is in excess. A colourless solution forms.

Step 2 The colourless solution from Step 1 is made up to 250.0 cm3 with distilled water.

Step 3 A 25.00 cm3 sample of the diluted solution from Step 2 is titrated with
0.200 mol dm–3 HCl (aq) in the burette.

The HCl (aq) reacts with excess NaOH(aq) that remains in Step 1:

NaOH(aq) + HCl (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O(l)

The student repeats the titration to obtain concordant (consistent) titres.

Titration results
The trial titre has been omitted.

The burette readings have been read to the nearest 0.05 cm3.

At RTP, 1.00 dm3 of compound E has a mass of 2.67 g.

Reaction 3
Concentrated sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst when 2-hydroxypropanoic acid reacts to form
