Can you write reaction equations to explain the role of the vinegar on the component of the formulation   and the aspirin or aspirin salt? – (consider acid-base reactions).   [ Vinegar + Aspirin= ?]   [C9H8O4+ CH₃COOH = ?]
Label each of the following as being a strong base, a weak base, or a species with negligible basicity. In each case write the formula of its conjugate acid, and indicate whether the conjugate acid is a strong acid, a weak acid, or a species with negligible acidity:  (a) CH3COO- (b) HCO3- (c) O2- (d) Cl- (e)NH3
Determine whether the given salt will undergo hydrolysis or not. Write: YES or NO 1. SrI22. MgCO33. NH4CN4. K2C2O45. CaCl26. AlBr37. NaClO4
