Is aspirin soluble in acid?
Yes, aspirin is soluble in acidic solutions. Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a weak acid itself and can readily dissolve in acidic environments.
Is aspirin an acid or a base?
Aspirin is a weak acid (acetylsalicylic). It's also an aromatic compound, and is slightly soluble in water.
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.
Conversion of aspirin to salicylic acid in laboratory?
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.
How does toothpaste work in terms of neutralisation?
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.

Is K2SO4 insoluble?
nope! its soluble in water (though poorly) and is also soluble in nitric acid
Is alkali soluble in water?
you can find out if a substance is an acid or alkali by adding universal indicator
Why is the sodium salt of acetylsalicylic more soluble in water than aspirin?
Aspirin is the trade name for acetylsalicylic acid. In a solution of sodium hydroxide the acid will be convereted to its sodium salt which is soluble. It could be recovered from the solution by adding acid to neutralise the sodium hydroxide and regenerate the free acid form which would again be mostly insoluble. In plain water the aspirin is unchanged and remains largely insoluble, only 1g dissolves in 100g of water at 37'C.
Is aspirin an acid or a base?
Aspirin is an acid.
What is an acid neutralized by?
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.
How can you tell if a colourless liquid is an acid or an alkali?
For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.
Which would cancel out battery acid more acid or water or alkali?
Alkali, of course. 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O
