What reactions are taking place during titration?
I will be dissolving a tablet into water (and maybe Ethyl alcohol if my teacher has it) and will be titrating it with NaOH to determine purity of aspirin.
For an IA I need 5 independent variables and was thinking about using different amounts of water+ethyl alcohol to help dissolve tablet. But I think the answer will be obvious if I increase the mL of the water+ethyl alcohol - the purity of aspirin will be less. So, if I use temperature will this be a good experiment? Would my results vary for each of the different temperatures?
Also, I mentioned that there is a possibility that my teacher does not have ethyl alcohol, can I use water instead?
Thank you.
