    Marjorie quiton
    This document describes a titration experiment to determine the concentration of aspirin in tablets. The experiment involves grinding aspirin tablets into a powder, dissolving it in water, and titrating the solution with a sodium hydroxide solution of a known concentration. The student performs multiple trials of the titration and calculates the average titre to determine the mass and amount of aspirin per tablet. The results are then compared to quality standards.

    Titration

    level 2
    C1A - GROUP 3

    Aims
    In level 2, you'll analyse aspirin tablets to find out whether they contain the correct amount of active ingredient (2-
    ethanoyloxybenzene carboxylic acid). You'll perform titration experiments to work out the concentration of aspirin in
    the tablets.

    In each activity you'll be able to collect points. At the end of the level you can restart to improve your skills.

    Video 100 Points

    Comprehension 100 Points 1 Attempt


    Aspirin contains a carboxylic acid group and is a weak acid.

    Aspirin molecules partially dissociate in water.

    The hydroxide ion of the strong base reacts with the conjugate base of the aspirin molecule.

    The end-point of a titration experiment occurs when there is a sudden change in pH.

    A suitable indicator compound will change colour near the end-point of the titration.

    Aspirin preparation 100 Points


    First the tablets were ground into a fine powder with a pestle and mortar.

    Next you added water to dissolve the aspirin.

    Finally you made the solution up to 250.0 cm3 using a volumetric flask.
    Preparing for titration 100 Points 1 Attempt
    First you rinsed a pipette with aspirin solution.

    Next you used the pipette to transfer exactly 25.00 cm3 of the solution into a beaker.

    Burette setup 100 Points 1 Attempt


    First you rinsed a burette with distilled water.

    Next you rinsed the burette with sodium hydroxide solution.

    Then you filled the burette with sodium hydroxide solution.

    Then you removed the funnel.

    Finally the burette was filled below the tap by running out some solution.

    pH meter 100 Points


    First you used the pH probe to obtain a plot of pH against volume added from the burette. From the data, you selected
    phenolphthalein and bromothymol blue as suitable indicators for the titration experiment.

    Titration analysis 100 Points


    Concentration of NaOH solution = 0.1 mol dm-3.

    Mean titre (NaOH solution) = 18.65 cm3.

    Amount of NaOH = 0.00187 moles.

    Molar ratio of NaOH:aspirin = 1:1.

    Amount of aspirin = 0.00187 moles.

    Mass of aspirin (in titration) = 0.337 g.

    Mass of aspirin (per tablet) = 0.337 g.

    You correctly determined the amount of 2-ethanoyloxybenzene carboxylic acid in each tablet and compared this with
    quality standards.

    From your titration experiment, what are the potential errors which could lead to inaccurate results?
