Is aspirin the strongest acid?
No, It is acetyl salicylic acid. Common acids are H2SO4, HCl, HNO3...etc. Jigar Modi
Why salicylate is more soluble than salicylic acid?
I assume you mean in water. Salicylate is a salt of salicylic acid. An organic salt is (pretty much) always more soluble in water than its non-salt counterpart. Water is polar, like dissolves like, etc.
Why does aspirin dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule whereas aspirin has no overall charge so the two don't mix very well. Heating the water or adding a few drops of ethanol will make it dissolve a lot faster though. Correction: Aspirin (2-acetoxy-benzoic acid) is a moderately strong acid. It might be called a semi-polar molecule. Ethanol is similar in this respect, and is a good solvent for aspirin. As in all such cases, solubility is determined by the forces between the molecules in solid aspirin compared to the affinity between water and aspirin. The question has no trivial answer. The salts of weak organic acids are usually more soluble than the acids themselves. Adding a base such as sodium hydroxide or ammonia to the water is likely to bring more aspirin into solution - but strictly speaking, the dissolved specis is not 2-acetoxy-benzoic acid, but 2-acetoxy-benzoate.
What to do if your dog eats Salicylic acid?
You have to take it to the Vet ASAP! Salicylic acid is commonly used in aspirin and skin care products. How serious it is when a dog eats some depends on the form it is consumed and the concentration. Just as aspirin poisoning is serious in kids - it's serious in animals. A couple of aspirin may not do much harm - but a whole bottle? Fido probably won't make it unless the vet can save him. Skin creams contain varying amounts and the more concentrated, the more damaging it is. As a cream it is a chemical exfoliant - it makes the top layers of skin come off - which INSIDE your dog is a serious problem because those layers aren't supposed to be coming off. It's also an anti-coagulant so when the top layer of tissue comes off and starts bleeding it is more likely to bleed worse.
Polarity order of ibuprofen Aspirin acetaminophen and caffeine?
Caffeine > Acetaminophen > Ibuprofen > ASA Actually ASA is more polar than Ibuprofen. In ethanol ASA rf value is around .7 and Ibuprofen is around .77. Should be Caffeine > Acetaminophen > ASA > Ibuprofen Rf in ethanol Caffeine < Acetaminophen < ASA < Ibuprofen
What is more polar methyl salicylate or salicylic acid?
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)
Do we still harvest aspirin from a willow tree?
,,,plants have small amount of salicylic acid,,,but the willow tree have more salicylic to be used in making an aspirin,,,researchers said that willow tree is the only tree having more salicylic acid
Is aspirin the strongest acid?

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.
If 1.5g of salicylic acid is heated with an excess of acetic anhydride, what is the theoretical yield of acetylsalicyclic acid?
With 1,5 g of salicylic acid you can obtain theoretically 1,96 g aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid); but in the laboratory (or industry) I remember that the true yield of reaction is a little more than 90 %.
Why salicylate is more soluble than salicylic acid?

How does the structure of salicylic acid differ from that of benzoic acid?
Salicylic acid (C6H4(OH)COOH) has one more OH group than benzoic acid (C6H5COOH)
What are the Rf values for pure aspirin and salicylic acid With workings shown so i can understand thank you?
The Retardation Factor (RF) value of aspirin is 0.56. The RF value of salicyclic acid is 0.654. Although workings cannot be shown here, a more detailed explanation can be found on the RSC website.
What is acetylsalicylic acid more commonly known as?
Aspirin is the more common name for acetylsalicylic acid.
Which one is more polar pure aspirin or crude aspirin?
Medicinal asperin is synthesised.
Mechanism of aspirin synthesis?
Aspirin is generally produced by the following mechanism (starting from basic materials) Phenol --(NaOH, CO2, heat)--> Sodium Salicylate (+para isomer) --(H2SO4)--> Salicylic acid --(acetic anhydride)--> acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) Due to the myriad of organic reactions, there are multiple possibilities at each stage. However, the above is the most efficient and common way of synthesizing Aspirin. For example, the last reaction (esterification) may be accomplished by using an acyl halide instead of an anhydride (e.g. ethanoyl/acetic chloride instead of acetic anhydride). However, the acyl halide is more costly to synthesize and more unstable to handle.
What is the difference between extra strength aspirin and regular aspirin?
Extra strength aspirin has more active ingredients than regular strength aspirin. The active ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. The more of this, the more strength. Basically extra strength has more acetylsalicylic acid then regular aspirin.
