Pollution and people littering. Can change everything.
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.
This would be the molar mass.
Answer: There would have to be three nitrogen atoms in the products. The law of conservation of matter states that the amount of substance before a reaction occurs should be the same as the amount of substance after the reaction.
Explanation: This is the EXACT sample answer from the test, just reword it if you want. ^
I think the answer is False.
