Want this question answered?
it is insoluble in acid, since aspirin is a weak base, thus won't react with an acid, thus insoluble
Aspirin is a weak acid (acetylsalicylic). It's also an aromatic compound, and is slightly soluble in water.
Yes it will be weakly acidic. Aspirin's scientific name is acetylsalicylic acid, with a pKa of 3.5. This would mean that for a solution of 0.1 M aspirin, the pH of the solution would be approximately 2.26.
An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate. Remember the general equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Remember the general acid reactions. Acid + metal = salt + hydrogen Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + water Acid + Carbonate = Salt +Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
RbOH ( Rubidium hydroxide) is a strong alkali. An Alkali is a soluble base.
Can be done two ways. Acidic aqueous solution or Alkali aqueous solution mixed with aspirin and stirred, this breaks the acetyl bond which is present in aspirin.
The toothpaste acts as an alkali against the acid produced by your mouth that coats your teeth. By applying the base (an alkali is a base that is soluble in water) to the acid, a neutralisation reaction occurs. Therefore, it will prevent your teeth from being eaten away by the natural acid produced by your mouth.">The toothpaste acts as an alkali against the acid produced by your mouth that coats your teeth.

nope! its soluble in water (though poorly) and is also soluble in nitric acid
As the name would suggest, it is an acid
NO!!!! Remember the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid +Alkali = Salt + Water Acid +Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
you can find out if a substance is an acid or alkali by adding universal indicator
