Picture this situation: An elderly woman is rushed to the hospital complaining of severe abdominal pain, tinnitus, and lethargy. Suspecting a drug interaction, the emergency room doctor starts questioning her. The doctor learns that the woman takes no medicines except aspirin for her arthritis. Since she cannot swallow pills well she takes a powdered form of aspirin which she buys in bulk and keeps in a plastic container in her kitchen next to her baking goods. She had just finished a day of baking sweets for her grandchildren when she felt poorly. She admits that she often samples while she bakes and thought that she had just had too many sweets. Immediately the doctor suspects that she has mixed up the aspirin and another ingredient and is suffering from aspirin poisoning. The doctor quickly pumps her stomach. Soon the woman is feeling well again, but the doctor needs to confirm the diagnosis before releasing her. If the doctor is wrong, the woman could be suffering from something far more severe. If the doctor is right, the poisoning could easily occur again unless the aspirin is located and properly labeled. In this chemistry science fair project you will perform a series of tests on the woman's baking goods to help solve the mystery of what happened.
