What else can I help you with?
What does it show if an aspirin solution has turned a universal indicator orange-red?
The aspirin solution is acidic; aspirin is the acetylsalicylic acid.
How to write the equation for the reaction by which aspirin decomposes in an aqueous ethanol solution?
The chemical reaction is: One mole of aspirin plus one mole of water yields one mole of salicylic acid plus one mole of acetic acid. Aspirin=C9H8O4 Salicylic acid=C7H6O3 Acetic acid=C4H6O3
How does aspirin dissolve in carbohydrate solution?
Aspirin is a weak acid that can dissolve in water due to its polar structure and hydrogen bonding. When aspirin is added to a carbohydrate solution, it can form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the carbohydrate molecules, helping it dissolve more readily in the solution.
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.
Is aspirin the strongest acid?
No, aspirin is not an acid in terms of acidity strength. Aspirin is a weak acid called acetylsalicylic acid. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid have a much lower pH and can fully dissociate in solution.
Is aspirin acidic basic or neutral?
aspirin is an acid... aspirins chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid

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.
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.
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.
What causes water to taste like aspirin?
Aspirin tastes a little bit like vinegar and the older the aspirin is, the more it tastes like vinegar. This is because vinegar is a solution of acetic acid and aspirin is made from acetic acid and salicylic acid.
Does the aspirin dissolve faster than sugar in a glass of water?
Aspirin is an acid. In solution in water, it breaks down into cations and anions and is thereby able to take advantage of the ability of a polarized substance e.g. water to act as a solvent. Alcohol cannot do this. It does not break down when it is dissolved in water.
Is aspirin an acid or a base?
Aspirin is an acid.
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.
