Title: Hydrolysis reaction for acetylsalicylic acid
Post by: 33639 on October 21, 2014, 07:50:10 PM

How to I write the hydrolysis reaction for acetylsalicylic acid such that it is converted to salicylate ions? And which ones will stay in the organic layer and aqueous layer while doing a separation?

I found the reaction but I'm not sure which one is in organic layer and which is in aqueous layer
