Firstly place 100 to 150 mg of aspirin into a 125 ml conical flask. Next proceed to mix in 15 ml of 95% ethanol solution and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Then use the titration method to mix this solution against a standard solution of sodium hydroxide from a burette. Using the value obtained from the titration calculate the molarity of the aspirin. Then calculate the ratio of the observed molarity of aspirin with its theoretical molarity and finally multiply this ratio with 100 to obtain the percentage purity of the aspirin sample.

Will taking a baby aspirin affect the INR level?

Aspirin makes your platelets slippery and inhibits them from sticking together. Aspirin does not affect your INR but can still cause bleeding to be prolonged. Coumadin does affect INR and can be used effectively with aspirin if prescribed. (This is not to be taken as medical advice, but informational purposes). Source: Am a patient with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, S/P bilateral pulmonary emboli and a TIA. Ten+ years of Coumadin, then Lovenox Injections. Now on coated enteric baby aspirin alone for a year, and INR is just 1.0. Hematologist monitoring.
