Acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4) is a monoprotic acid commonly known as "aspirin." A typical aspirin tablet, however, contains only a small amount of the acid. In an experiment to determine its composition, an aspirin tablet was crushed and dissolved in water. It took 12.25 ml of 0.1466 M NAOH to neutralize the solution. Calculate the number of grains of aspirin in the tablet. (One grain = 0.0648 g.) Reaction is shown below. * COOH COONA + NaOH + H,O OCOCH OCOCH3 ASPIRIN O 4 7

Excess Na2SO4(aq) is added to a 4.41×102 mL sample of industrial waste containing Ba2+ ions. If 55.5 g of BaSO4(s) are precipitated from the reaction, what was the molar concentration of Ba2+ in the original sample?
A titration is performed to determine the amount of sulfuric acid, H2SO4,, in a 6.5mL sample taken from a car battery. About 50mL of water is added to the sample, and then it is titrated with 43.37mL of standard 0.5824 molar NaOH solution. How many moles of sulfuric acid are present in the original sample?
The concentration of a certain sodium hydroxide solution was determined by using the solution to titrate a sample of potassium hydrogen phthalate (abbreviated as KHP). KHP is an acid with one acidic hydrogen and a molar mass of 204.22 g/mol. In the titration, 28.16 mL of the sodium hydroxide solution was required to react with 0.5040 g KHP. Calculate the molarity of the sodium hydroxide

3. A 2.315 g sample of H2C2O4•2H2O was transferred to a 100.0-mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark. 20.00 mL of this solution required 26.37 mL of a NaOH solution of unknown concentration to reach the end point. Calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution. PE40
Aluminum ions may be precipitated from aqueous solution by the addition of hydroxide ion, forming Al(OH)3. A large excess of hydroxide ion must not be added, however, because the precipitate of Al(OH)3 will redissolve as a soluble compound containing aluminum ions, and hydroxide ions begin to form. How many grams of solid NaOH should be added to 10.1 mL of 0.107 M AIC13 to just precipitate all the aluminum? g
