ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN: SPECTROPHOTOMETRY The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the percent aspirin on a commercial aspirin tablet using an instrumental method‚ spectrophotometry. In a spectrophotometer‚ light from a strong lamp passes through a monochromator‚ which breaks the light into its component colors using a grating‚ then uses mirrors and slits to direct a light beam of the desired wavelength through the sample compartment‚ where you place a tube (cuvette) of solution.
