pH and aspirin hydrolysis
« on: March 23, 2022, 12:45:36 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!

I suggest writing a chemical mechanism for the hydrolysis.
