You are going to analyze an aspirin tablet using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. You crush an aspirin tablet in a mortar and pestle until a powder forms. Then, you weigh some of this powder and add it to a 25 mL volumetric flask with 8 mL buffer to raise the pH and dilute with DI water to the mark. How would you prepare a method blank for this method?
