Final answer:
The student performed an experiment to determine the absorbance of a diluted aspirin solution. The data collected will help calculate the molarity of the headache medicine tablet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student used a standard solution of aspirin to create a graph of molarity versus absorbance. The slope of the graph was determined to be 4,598 M-1cm-1. The student then measured out 0.283 grams of a headache medicine tablet and dissolved it in NaOH, resulting in a 100ml solution. Five ml of this solution was added to another flask and diluted with FeCl3-KCl-HCl mixture. The absorbance of this solution was measured as 0.315.
