To completely neutralize a 0.325 g sample of pure aspirin, 15.50 mL of a sodium hydroxide solution is added. If 16.25 mL of the same sodium hydroxide solution must be added to an aspirin tablet sample during a titration to reach the endpoint, calculate the mass of aspirin in the table

A0.310 g
B0.288 g
C0.392 g
D0.450 g
E0.341 g

Verified Answer :

Answer: The correct option is E.

Explanation: The reaction between aspirin (also known as acetylsalicylic acid) and sodium hydroxide is known as acid-base titration reaction.

By applying Unitary method, we get:

15.50mL of NaOH dissolves = 0.325 g of aspirin

So, 16.25 mL of NaOH will dissolve = \(\frac{0.325g}{15.5mL}\times 16.25mL\) = 0.341 g

Hence, the correct option is E.
