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 adding salt to water a reversible change?

Yes, adding salt to water is a reversible change because the salt can be dissolved in the water to create a saltwater solution, which can then be separated back into salt and water through processes like evaporation or distillation.


What colour would litmus paper turn when dipped in an aqueous solution of aspirin?

Litmus paper would turn blue when dipped in an aqueous solution of aspirin, indicating the solution is basic. aspirin is a weak acid and when dissolved in water, it undergoes hydrolysis releasing hydroxide ions which makes the solution basic.


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.


What liquid dissolves aspirin the fastest tonic water or distilled water?

I did this experiment for my science class and i got they both dissolved at the same time


An experiment was performed in lab that was supposed to produce aspirin. How could chromatography be used to tell if aspirin was actually the product of the reaction?

Chromatography could be used to separate the components of the reaction mixture and identify if aspirin is present by comparing the retention time of the product to that of a known aspirin standard. If the retention time matches, it indicates the presence of aspirin in the reaction mixture. Additionally, chromatography can help determine the purity of the aspirin product by analyzing the intensity of the peak corresponding to aspirin.

Is dissolving jelly reversible?

Yes, dissolving jelly is reversible. By adding heat, you can turn the dissolved jelly back into its original solid state by allowing the liquid to cool and set again.


What pH would you expect aspirin dissolved in water to exhibit?

Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. From the name you should expect a pH of less than 7. Exactly how much less depends on how much aspirin and how much water.


Can aspirin lead to liver failure?

YES! Research shows that about 50% of patients who were given Aspirin (also called acetylsalicylic acid) regularly in anti-inflammatory doses have developed mild, dose-dependent reversible liver damage. Note: Regular and heavy consumption of Aspirin will produce hemorrhage.


How can you effectively dissolve aspirin in water?

To effectively dissolve aspirin in water, you can crush the aspirin tablets into a fine powder and then stir the powder into warm water until it is fully dissolved. The warmth of the water can help speed up the dissolution process.
