The active ingredient in an aspirin tablet is acetylsalicylic acid. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. Upon ingestion, acetylsalicylic acid is metabolized in the body to exert its therapeutic effects.

A single aspirin tablet typically weighs about 0.5 grams, which is equivalent to 0.0005 kilograms. The active ingredient, acetylsalicylic acid, generally constitutes about 300-500 mg per tablet, depending on the formulation. Therefore, the average weight of an aspirin tablet is very small when expressed in kilograms.
okay so I'm continuing the question since there wasn't any more space allowed: ...to hydrolyze the acetylsalicylic acid. After the reaction mixture was cooled, the excess base was back-titrated with 14.29 mL of 0.1056 M HCl. how many grams of acetylsalicylic acid are in the tablet? What % w/w of the tablet is acetylsalicylic acid? ----------- I suppose that the tablet of aspirin have 0,5041 g acetylsalicylic acid or 98,26 %. The question is surprisingly long, with exagerate data, after my opinion.
One adult aspirin tablet contains 300 milligrams of aspirin.
Not that I know what you mean by a grain but 0.500 g = 500 mg so 500/60=8.34 grains - is this a trick question?
unreacted salicylic acid
Aspirin is an acid.
It depends on the mass of the tablet and the molar mass of the aspirin molecule itself, find out the mass in grams of one tablet, divide it by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in one molecule of aspirin and it will give you the molar mass of the aspirin tablet.

Givens for question above: If the aspirin tablet is 0.4635g. it was titrated with 18.23mL of 0.1000M NaOH to neutralize. Then 33mL of NaOH was added to hydrolyze. then it was back titrated w/13.59mL HCl. what is mass of acetylsalicylic acid? what is the percent w/w?
Can be done two ways. Acidic aqueous solution or Alkali aqueous solution mixed with aspirin and stirred, this breaks the acetyl bond which is present in aspirin.
aspirin is a popularly known drug. the chemical name of aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid, an organic compound. it is prepared by the reaction of o-hydroxybenzoic acid(salicylic acid) with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride.
