Class Projects in Physical Organic Chemistry: The Hydrolysis of Aspirin
Marrs, Peter S.
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n6 p870 Jun 2004
An exercise that provides a hands-on demonstration of the hydrolysis of aspirin is presented. The key to understanding the hydrolysis is recognizing that all six process may occur simultaneously and that the observed rate constant is the sum of the rate constants that one rate constant dominates the overall process.
