The active ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. A 2.19 g sample of acetylsalicylic acid required 23.53 mL of 0.5167 M NaOH for a complete reaction. The addition of 13.81 mL of 0.4402 M HCl to the flask containing the aspirin and the sodium hydroxide produced a mixture with pH = 3.48. Find the molar mass (in g/mol) of acetylsalicylic acid and its Ka value. Acetylsalicylic acid is a monoprotic acid.
