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.
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.
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.
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.
Why acylation occur at phenol rather than carboxylic acid in salicylic acid?
Acylation occurs at the phenol group in salicylic acid due to the higher reactivity of the phenol hydroxyl group compared to the carboxylic acid group. The phenol group is more nucleophilic and readily reacts with acetyl chloride to form acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Additionally, the carboxylic acid group can interfere with the reaction due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds, making it less reactive towards acylation.
What is more polar methyl salicylate or salicylic acid?
salicylic acid (an acid) is more polar than methyl salicylate (an ester)
Why is aspirin considered a more effective medication than salicylic acid?
Aspirin is considered more effective than salicylic acid because it is a modified form of salicylic acid that is easier for the body to absorb and has fewer side effects. This modification allows aspirin to be more targeted in its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a preferred medication for many conditions.
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

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.
Is salicylic acid dissolved in HCl?
Salicylic acid, like any other acid, would be dissolved in water.
Why is salicylic acid more acidic than acetylsalicylic acid?
Salicylic acid dissociates in water to form a carboxylic acid group, making it more acidic compared to acetylsalicylic acid which has an ester group that is less acidic. The presence of the -OH group in salicylic acid contributes to its higher acidity compared to the -OR group in acetylsalicylic 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 %.
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.
