A student titrating a sample of a powdered aspirin tablet to find out how much acetylsalicylic acid is in the sample finds that it requires 15.5 mL of a 0.109 M sodium hydroxide solution to neutralize the acid in the sample. How many milligrams of acetylsalicylic acid did the sample contain? Use the correct number of significant figures and do not include units or your answer will be counted wrong.

305 mg

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

C9H8O4 + NaOH = C9H7O4Na + H2O

Amount of NaOH reacted = 15.5/1000 L * 0.109 M = 1.69 * 10^-3 moles

Since the reaction has a 1:1 mole ration, 1.69 * 10^-3 moles of acetylsalicylic acid reacted.

Assuming all the acetylsalicylic acid reacted, then mass of acetylsalicylic acid present = 1.69 * 10^-3 moles * 180.158 g/mol = 0.305 g or 305 mg

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
