Is crushing an aspirin a physical or chemical change?

Crushing an aspirin is a physical change because the small pieces are still chemically the same as the aspirin tablet.


Is dissolved aspirin reversible?

No. Aspirin prevents the synthesis of Thromboxane A2 which induces platelet aggregation (formation of a clot) and platelet release reaction. Aspirin inhibits this platelet aggregation for the life of the platelets, which is between 7-10 days. The cool thing with aspirin is that it thins your blood, the bad thing is that it thins your blood and if you want to stop taking aspirin (for any reason, even before surgery) you have a 3x increase of stroke or heart attack for 8-10 days because of its rebound effect. Aspirin is a light-weight compared to Heparin or Coumadin, but Heparin is easily reversed with Protamine-sulfate solution 1% and Coumadin with Vitamin K - something to think about. Maybe one day a drug will be created to reactivate Thromboxane A2 synthesis, but not yet. Trust your PA-C's.


Is a plant dying a chemical change?

It is physical because if water is added back to the plant it can actually recover. Also, the end result (the wilted plant) is still a plant, not something completely different.

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 buffered aspirin?

Buffered aspirin is a formulation of aspirin that includes an antacid, such as magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate, to help reduce stomach irritation commonly associated with aspirin use. This buffering effect can make it easier on the gastrointestinal tract while still providing the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits of aspirin. Buffered aspirin is often recommended for individuals who may have sensitivity to regular aspirin.

Why is there such a thing as baby aspirin when babies cannot take it due to the risk of Reye's syndrome?

I have not seen baby aspirin marketed for years. Baby aspirin was available before the association with Reye's syndrome was established, but since then has apparently been removed from the market. There is still a chewable 81mg aspirin available, probably for low dose heart attack prevention. Furthermore, aspirin may still be necessary for treating some childhood illnesses, but under a doctor's order.
