Any idea?
« on: November 17, 2024, 11:10:08 PM »
Hi!

I was wondering why is the hydrolysis of aspirin faster in environments of a higher pH? I noticed this while testing out different buffer solutions, but cannot seem to find an explanation anywhere, only that the higher the pH the faster the rate of reaction.

Thank you in advance!

Think what kind of compound  is Aspirin.
Think of saponification of this  class of compounds.
