Abstract
In this lab we tested a low dose aspirin and a regular strength aspirin to see how much NaOH is needed to neutralize the aspirin. First, we made calculations, to get an idea of how much NaOH we would need to put in the burrette. To make these calculations, we used the balanced equation: HC9H7O4 --> NaC9H7O4 + H2O, used the molar mass of aspirin which is 180.16 grams of HC9H7O4/ 1 mol, used mole to mole ratios, and molarity. After, we went into the lab to preform our experiment and see if our predictions were correct. We mashed the low dose aspirin pill into a powder and mixed it with water and alcohol, then we filled the burrette with 15.30 mL of NaOH and let the substance drip into the low dose mixture until the mixture turned a light pink. Then we measured how much NaOH was used by looking on the burrette. We calculated the volume of NaOH used by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume of NaOH. We used the same process for the regular strength aspirin. For our results, we found that 5.00 mL of NaOH was needed to titrate the low dose aspirin, which was close to our estimation that was 4.5 mL. For the regular strength aspirin, our results were that 18.10 mL were needed to titrate the regular strength aspirin, while our prediction was 18.0 mL.
Titration is a process in which you can determine the acidity of a substance. In the process of tirtation you are slowly mixing two substances using a burrette. The substance then slowly starts to change in color, notifying you that it has been neutralized. This technique is used for neutralizing substances, or determing the acidity of the substance.

Present Technology
To determine the correct dose of medication, pharmacists go through the process of tritration to neutralize the medicine. Pharmacists need to determine different doses for different people because the dosage depends on the patients age, weight, and other health issues.
