CAPE Chemistry Unit 2 · May/June 2024 · Paper 2 · Question 2(c)(iv)

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) concentration was determined by titrating a stock solution (from 10 tablets dissolved in 250 cm³) with standard NaOH. 25.0 cm³ of the solution was titrated. Figure 3 shows the reaction, and Table 1 outlines two titration options.

Using the information in Table 2 below, select the indicator(s) that cannot be used for the titrations. Option 1. Reason for selection. Option 2. Reason for selection.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
