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

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

Click For Summary SUMMARY

The reaction between C9H8O4(s), commonly known as aspirin, and HCl(l), hydrochloric acid, results in the dissolution of aspirin and the formation of new organic compounds. The interaction leads to the generation of a haloalkane group and a hydroxyl (OH) group. ChemSpider identifies 264 compounds with the formula C9H8O4, indicating multiple potential outcomes for this reaction based on the specific conditions and concentrations used.

PREREQUISITES

• Chemical reaction mechanisms
• Understanding of organic chemistry functional groups
• Knowledge of acid-base reactions
• Familiarity with ChemSpider and chemical databases

NEXT STEPS

• Research the specific reaction mechanisms of aspirin in acidic environments
• Explore the properties and applications of haloalkanes
• Study the role of hydroxyl groups in organic compounds
• Investigate the use of ChemSpider for identifying chemical compounds and their reactions

USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, organic chemists, and anyone interested in the reactions of organic compounds with acids.

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! Chemistry news on Phys.org

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 29,180 Reaction score 4,612

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

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