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

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.

In the space below, draw the titration curve that would be obtained for Option 1.
