Why patient with achlorhydria can dissolve aspirin rapidly?
patient with achlorhydria >>> increase in the PH in the stomach >>> so aspirin dissolve rapidly in high PH .
Solution of water and aspirin an acid?
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.
Why take buffered aspirin?
When a naturalyl acidic or basic substance is buffered, it's pH is balanced. If something is too acidic or basic is ingested, it can do serious harm to the stomach lining.
What is the difference between aspirin to buffered aspirin?
Buffered aspirin has an added buffering agent so that it is easier on the stomach.
Where was the substance in aspirin found?
Aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid.
What pH does aspirin have?
The pH is around 3-4
What pH would you expect aspirin dissolved in water to exhibit?
Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. From the name you should expect a pH of less than 7. Exactly how much less depends on how much aspirin and how much water.
Why patient with achlorhydria can dissolve aspirin rapidly?
patient with achlorhydria >>> increase in the PH in the stomach >>> so aspirin dissolve rapidly in high PH .
What is the pH balance of dissolved aspirin?
there is no logical reason to believe that "acetylsalicyclic acid" would have a pH of 15...this would be a base.
Why is sodium hydroxide added into the conical flask containing a analgesic or aspirin?
to decrease ph
Why is an excess amount of Na OH added to the conical flask containing aspirin?
to decrease ph
Is aspirin absorbed in the stomach or intestines?
Aspirin is absorbed both in the stomach and the small intestine , for the former the cause lies beyond the fact that the gastric PH (1.5-2.5) is lower than the pka of aspirin (3.5) such that the ionization of aspirin is so much limited and the unionized and subsequently the lipophilicity of aspirin increases so that it's easily absorbed into the gastric mucosal cells. for the latter , aspirin absorption is due to the large absorptive surface area of the small intestine despite the fact that the intestinal PH is higher than the pka of aspirin , but still the surface area help absorption of the unionized fraction of aspirin.
Aspirin is an acid with pKa of 3.5 is aspirin more absorbed in stomach where pH is 1 or in small intestine where pH is 6?
Aspirin is absorbed from the stomach but most of it is absorbed from small intestines because of poor dissolution of acidic drug in stomach acid, high dissolution in intestinal contents, large surface area on intestines and good blood flow in intestines
