The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid.
However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.
I'm pretty sure its momentum
The molarity of NaOH needed is calculated as follows
calculate the moles of KhC8h4O4
that is moles = mass/molar mass of KhC8h4O4(204.22 g/mol)
=0.5632g /204.22g/mol= 2.76 x10^-3 moles
write the equation for reaction
khc8h4O4 + NaOH ---> KNaC8h4O4 + H2O
from the equation above the reacting ratio of KhC8h4O4 to NaOh is 1:1 therefore the moles of Naoh is also 2.76 x10^-3 moles
molarity of NaOh = (moles of NaOh / volume ) x 1000
that is { (2.76 x10^-3) / 23.64} x100 =0.117 M
