Acetylsalicylic acid (C₂HO4) 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 5.10 mL of 0.1466 M NaOH to neutralize the solution.

Oranges and grapefruits are known as citrus fruits because their acidity comes mainly from citric acid, H3C6H5O7. Calculate the concentration of citric acid in a solution if a 30.00-mL sample is neutralized by 15.10 mL of 0.0100 M KOH. Assume that three acidic hydrogens of each citric acid molecule are neutralized in the reaction.
Chlorisondamine chloride (C14H20Cl6N2) is a drug used in the treatment of hypertension. A 1.28-g sample of a medication containing the drug was treated to destroy the organic material and to release all the chlorine as chloride ion. When the filtered solution containing chloride ion was treated with an excess of silver nitrate, 0.104 g silver chloride was recovered. Calculate the mass percent of chlorisondamine chloride in the medication, assuming the drug is the only source of chloride.
The pungent odor of vinegar is a result of the presence of acetic acid, CH3COOH. Only one hydrogen atom of the CH3COOH reacts with a base in a neutralization reaction. What is the concentration of acetic acid if a 10.00-mL sample is neutralized by 3.32 mL of 0.0100 M strontium hydroxide?
The active ingredients of an antacid tablet contained only magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. Complete neutralization of a sample of the active ingredients required 48.5 mL of 0.187 M hydrochloric acid. The chloride salts from this neutralization were obtained by evaporation of the filtrate from the titration; they weighed 0. 4200 g. What was the percentage by mass of magnesium hydroxide in the active ingredients of the antacid tablet?
An antacid tablet contains sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3, and inert ingredients. A 0.465-g sample of powdered tablet was mixed with 53.3 mL of 0.190 M HCl (hydrochloric acid). The mixture was allowed to stand until it reacted. NaHCO3(s)+HCl(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) The excess hydrochloric acid was titrated with 54.6 mL of 0.128 M NaOH (sodium hydroxide). HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)NaCl(aq)+H2O(l) What is the percentage of sodium hydrogen carbonate in the antacid?
Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.08 11 M NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidity of the rain is due to the presence of sulfuric acid, what was the concentration of sulfuric acid in this sample of rain?
For a product to be called vinegar, it must contain at least 5.0% acetic acid, HC2H3O2, by mass. A 10.00-g sample of a raspberry vinegar is titrated with 0.1250 M Ba(OH)2 and required 37.50 mL for complete neutralization. Can the product be called a vinegar?
Glycerol (C3H8O3) is commonly used as an additive to moisturizers. The amount of glycerol added can be determined by titration with permanganate in basic solution. 14MnO4(aq)+C3H8O3(aq)+20OH(aq)14MnO42(aq)+3CO32(aq)+14H2O How many milliliters of 6.15 M KMnO4 are required to completely react with 7.25 mL of an aqueous solution of glycerol (d=1.144g/mL) that is 51.6% by mass?
Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, HC6H7O6, which can be titrated with a strong base. HC6H7O6(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaC6H7O6(aq) + H2O() A student dissolved a 500.0-mg vitamin C tablet in 200.0 mL water and then titrated it with 0.1250-M NaOH. It required 21.30 mL of the base to reach the equivalence point. Calculate the mass percentage of the tablet that is impurity.
