Question

Please enan wak one (hightel), Thamkyou! Let's Think OH Imagine you have a 0.125 M aqueous solution of aspirin, an acid drug with pKa 3.5, in equilibrium. Predict what would happen to the pH when: you add more A"; you add OH you add more H20; Use both, kinetic and thermodynamic arguments. Chemical Thinking

Answer 1

This example is of the ester hydrolysis and this is a reversible reaction.

Scution't on addition of more water, the ester part of asipirin will convert to alcohol Phenol, le estrification reaction equlibrium will move towards more of salicylic acid. fon you or tho @on the salicylic Acetic acid Asibirin Ocid ester hydrolysis k estrification So, according le chatelia's principle, on adding more of Hoo, the reaction will move in right side to minimize the effect of change or to retain the equli- brium in the system.
