Aspirin is a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and fever reducer produced from acetic acid and salicylic acid (138.121 g/mol). The latter acid can be generated from methyl salicylate (152.1494 g/mol) or "oil of wintergreen" by a sequence of chemical processes beginning with a hydrolysis reaction. To assess the yield of the hydrolysis reaction, the product was potentiometrically titrated. For the process, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was utilized as the titrant. Three standardization attempts with KHP resulted in a titrant concentration of 0.0459 M. Equivalence point volume from the second derivative plot = 7.5 mL Using the equivalence point volume from the second derivative plot, how many grams of salicylic acid was synthesized?

Three standardization attempts with KHP resulted in a titrant concentration of 0.0459 M.

Equivalence point volume from the second derivative plot = 7.5 mL

Using the equivalence point volume from the second derivative plot, how many grams of salicylic acid was synthesized?
