What happens when you mix C9H8O4(s) + HCl(l)?

• Thread starter Thread starter ChMP
• Start date Start date Feb 27, 2012

Click For Summary Mixing C9H8O4 (commonly known as aspirin) with HCl results in a chemical reaction where the aspirin may dissolve and produce bubbles due to the release of carbon dioxide. The reaction can lead to the formation of new compounds, potentially including a haloalkane group and a hydroxyl (OH) group. However, the specific outcome can vary, as there are 264 different compounds with the formula C9H8O4, indicating multiple possible reactions depending on the specific structure of the aspirin used. ChMP Messages 2 Reaction score 0 What happens when you mix C9H8O4(s) + HCl(l)? As in the chemical reaction. Does it dissolve, bubble? Help would much be appreciated, thanks!

Bipolarity Messages 773 Reaction score 2 I think the C9H8O4 compound will absorb the HCl to become a new organic compound with a haloalkane group as well as a new OH group. BiP Borek Mentor Messages 29,154 Reaction score 4,605

Chemspider finds 264 compounds with a formula C9H8O4. That means technically there are 264 possible answers to the question.
