Is Aspirin a mixture or pure substance?

Answer 1

Aspirin (ASA) is a compound and is then a pure substance.

A mixture is a mix of pure substances while a pure substance can be made up of a single element or compound.

Pure Honey and distilled water are both pure substances.

Ranch and Italian salad dressings are both mixtures.

Aspirin is not an element. Its chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid, abbreviated as ASA.

Answer 2

Aspirin was originally the trade name for acetylsalicylic acid, which is a chemical compound, a pure substance. Today "aspirin" is the common name for tablets of acetylsalicylic acid mixed with other compounds. So, if you mean acetylsalicylic acid, it is a pure chemical compound. If you mean aspirin, the tablet you take for headache, it is a mixture of the acid with other chemical compounds.

Answer 4
