The amount of energy in molecules of matter determines the state of matter. Matter can exist in one of several different states, including a gas, liquid, or solid state. ... A gas is a state of matter in which atoms or molecules have enough energy to move freely.
The balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is as follows;
NaOH + C₉H₈O₄ --> C₉H₇O₄Na + H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to C₉H₈O₄ is 1:1
The number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.1002 M / 1000 mL/L x 10.00 mL
Number of NaOH moles - 0.001002 mol
Therefore number of moles of aspirin - 0.001002 mol
Mass of aspirin reacted - 0.001002 mol x 180.2 g/mol = 0.18 g
However the mass of the aspirin sample is 0.132 g but 0.18 g of aspirin has reacted, therefore this question is not correct.
