How do varying strengths of generic aspirin affect the amount of 0.1 mol dm 3 NaOH needed to neutralize differing concentrations of acetyl salicylic acid in aspirin?
Aspirin is used nowadays as a mild analgesic and antipyretic, and carries out these functions by preventing the formation of prostaglandin synthase. Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid, a derivative of salicylic acid. This acid, which is otherwise known as 2hydroxybenzoic acid, is also the active ingredient in the analgesic.
My younger sister constantly has headaches, and so, uses varying strengths of aspirin, which have varying effects. Having just covered medicinal chemistry in class, this let me raise the question: How do varying strengths of aspirin differ in concentration
