Suppose that extra volume (more than the actual volume) of 0.2 M NaOH solution was used to reach the end-point in the titration process for the determination of the % purity of aspirin sample (0.5 g). Which of the following is correct? The calculated and the actual percent purity values for the aspirin sample will be the same, since the extra added volume of NaOH solution has no effect on the % purity determination for the aspirin sample.

Question
Suppose that extra volume (more than the
actual volume) of 0.2 M NaOH solution was
used to reach the end-point in the titration
process for the determination of the %
purity of aspirin sample (0.5 g). Which of the
following is correct?
The calculated and the actual percent
purity values for the aspirin sample will
be the same, since the extra added
volume of NaOH solution has no effect
on the % purity determination for the
aspirin sample.
We need to know the actual volume
(the real volume that should be used in
titration) as well as the used volume of
NaOH solution to make a true
comparison between the actual and
the calculated % purity values for the
aspirin sample.
The calculated % purity value will be
lower than the actual % purity value for
the aspirin sample.
The calculated % purity value will be
higher than the actual % purity value for
the aspirin sample.
