Yes, but you usually have to crush it somewhat or it will take all day. The coated aspirin won't.

Is percocet water or fat soluble?

Water soluble. Opiates are very water soluble unless they are in their freebase form but hydrocodone is not in its freebase form so it is water soluble. Acetaminophen (tylenol), ibuprofen, an aspirin are only very slightly water soluble and at cold temperatures they are practically not soluble at all. Hope this answers your question.


The calcium salt of aspirin is more soluble than standard aspirin. why is it so much more soluble?

because of ion dipole interactions between the water molecule and the ionic calcium salt


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.


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.

How will you change the aspirin to make it water soluble?

Usually by converting it to its sodium salt, by reaction with sodium hydroxide.


Is a soluble aspirin fizzing in water a chemical reaction?

Yes. If there is the appearance of a gas (fizzing), then a chemical reaction has occurred.


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.


What can a diabetic take for headaches?

Usual analgesics will do. Like soluble aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen should do.


Does ibuprofen acetaminophen or aspirin dissolve the quikest in water?

Acetaminophen is only slightly water soluble. If the water is near freezing almost 0% of the acetaminophen will dissolve. As for the rest, idk.


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.
