Why does aspirin dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule whereas aspirin has no overall charge so the two don't mix very well. Heating the water or adding a few drops of ethanol will make it dissolve a lot faster though. Correction: Aspirin (2-acetoxy-benzoic acid) is a moderately strong acid. It might be called a semi-polar molecule. Ethanol is similar in this respect, and is a good solvent for aspirin. As in all such cases, solubility is determined by the forces between the molecules in solid aspirin compared to the affinity between water and aspirin. The question has no trivial answer. The salts of weak organic acids are usually more soluble than the acids themselves. Adding a base such as sodium hydroxide or ammonia to the water is likely to bring more aspirin into solution - but strictly speaking, the dissolved specis is not 2-acetoxy-benzoic acid, but 2-acetoxy-benzoate.

How is aspirin absorbed and distributed throughout the body?
Aspirin is metabolised by tissue and blood esterases occurs, hydrolysing aspirin to acetic acid and salicylate. Salicylate is distributed throughout most body tissues and fluids, including synovial fluid and cerebrospinal fluid, and is 50-90% bound to plasma proteins. You can find heaps in the book I am reading. Pharmocology for Health Professionals by Byrant and Knights, 3rd Edition. p299.
