Student name: Aina’a Adeeb Tammouni Section number: 14

A/1 Write down the correct scientific name and chemical formula of reagents that have been used: (2 points)
Scientific name Chemical formula

Acetylsalicylic acid C9H8O4

NaOH
Sodium hydroxide

A/2 Write down the correct name of the glassware than have been used: (2 points)

Glassware Glassware

Graduated cylinder
Elementary flask
Funnel Graduated pipette

B. Assay:
Analyze your data and fill the table (Show you calculations): (6 point)

V total = Vexcess +Vreacted

Vexcess =E.p1=13.9ml
Vtotal = E.p2 =18ml
Vreacted =E.p-E.p1=18-13.9

=4.1 ml

actual weight of aspirin = M.wt of aspirin *MNaOH*(endpoint2-endpoint1)*1/2

=18.2*0.5*(18-13.9)*1/2

=184mg

%purity=(actual weight of aspirin/ theoretical weight of aspirin)*100%

%=(184.7/250)*100%
