Do you mean formula? Structure? Equation implies there is a reaction taking place.
Aspirin's full chemical name is 2-ethanoyl hydroxybenzoic acid and the formula is C9H8O4
I've already tried and failed once to render a molecular structure using text so if you want to know that it takes 10 seconds of googling.

What else can I help you with?
How to write the equation for the reaction by which aspirin decomposes in an aqueous ethanol solution?
The chemical reaction is: One mole of aspirin plus one mole of water yields one mole of salicylic acid plus one mole of acetic acid. Aspirin=C9H8O4 Salicylic acid=C7H6O3 Acetic acid=C4H6O3
What is the balanced equation for the reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride?
The balanced equation for the reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride to form aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is: salicylic acid + acetic anhydride → aspirin + acetic acid.
What is the equation for the reaction of salicylic acid with Acetyl chloride and pyridine?
The reaction of salicylic acid with acetyl chloride and pyridine results in the formation of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). The general equation for this reaction is: salicylic acid + acetyl chloride → acetylsalicylic acid + hydrogen chloride
In the aspirin synthesis excess acetic anhydride is hydrolyzed by the addition of water which converts the anhydride into acetic acid Write the balanced equation for this reaction?
The reaction is: (CH3CO)2O + H2O = 2 CH3COOH
What is the process of making aspirin?
Aspirin is made when salicylic acid and acetic anhydride is reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst such as H2SO4. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid is formed. The reaction is an esterification reaction.
What is the difference between old and new aspirin?
When aspirin gets old, it begins to decompose and you get a vinegar smell. If you smell that, the aspirin is decomposing and acetic acid is being released. Aspirin should be used before the decomposition occurs. It will still work, because the salicylic acid that does the work is still there. It can be corrosive to the stomach and that's why they combine it with a process that produces acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). When decomposition occurs, you get salicylic acid and acetic acid.
What is the balance chemical equation in the reaction between acetyl salicyclic acidaspirin and sodium bicarbonatebaking soda?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is: C9H8O4 (aspirin) + NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate) -> C9H7O4Na (sodium acetylsalicylate) + CO2 + H2O
Is aspirin synthesis an exothermic reaction?
yes
Any reaction with aspirin and aloe vera?
No
How do you know which OH group on salicylic acid reacts to form aspirin?
Aspirin is formed in a reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In this reaction it is the phenolic alcohol group that reacts to form the aspirin.
Is aspirin synthesis an esterification reaction?
No, aspirin synthesis is not an esterification reaction. It involves the reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride to form acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid through an acetylation reaction. Esterification typically involves the reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid to form an ester.
What is the purpose of phosphoric acid in the synthesis of aspirin?
Phosphoric acid is used in the synthesis of aspirin as a catalyst to facilitate the esterification reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. It helps increase the reaction rate and yield of aspirin.
