Respuesta :
From the mole ratio of the reaction, the mass of ASA reacted is greater than the mass of ASA sample indicating an error in some of the data provided.
What is the titration technique?
Titration is a technique in analytical chemistry in which the volume of solution A of known concentration needed to react with another solution B of unknown concentration is used to determine the unknown concentration of the solution B.
The equation of the reaction between acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and NaOH is given below:
- C8H7O2COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) C8H7O2COONa(aq) + H2O(l)
1 mole of ASA reacts with one mole of NaOH
Molar mass of ASA = 180 g/mol
For first sample:
Volume of NaOH = 16.0 mL = 0.016 L
Moles of NaOH reacted = 0.016 × 0.497 = 0.007952 moles
Therefore, moles of ASA reacted = 0.007952 moles
Mass of ASA reacted = 1.43136 g
However, mass of ASA sample = 0.1830 g
The mass of ASA reacted is greater than the mass of ASA sample.
This means there is an error in the data provided.
