    The balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is as follows;

    NaOH + C₉H₈O₄ - - > C₉H₇O₄Na + H₂O

    stoichiometry of NaOH to C₉H₈O₄ is 1:1

    The number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.1002 M / 1000 mL/L x 10.00 mL

    Number of NaOH moles - 0.001002 mol

    Therefore number of moles of aspirin - 0.001002 mol

    Mass of aspirin reacted - 0.001002 mol x 180.2 g/mol = 0.18 g

    However the mass of the aspirin sample is 0.132 g but 0.18 g of aspirin has reacted, therefore this question is not correct.
