Hydrogen bonds are weak non-covalent bonds between hydrogen attached to an electronegative element and another electronegative element.

 

 

Ahh!! Thank you so so so so much!! I get it now!

Here is acetylsalicyclic acid. The ester functional group and the carboxylic acid functional group are the groups on the side of the ring with the oxygens. Ethanol and Methanol have -OH groups and these groups have hydrogen bond interactions with acetylsalicyclic acid.

The carboxylic acid functionality can receive hydrogen bonds from -OH groups of alcohols.

Can you explain that more simply? I'm sorry, I'm new to science. Is there a relationship between the polarity or molarity of the alcohol that make it easier/effient to dissolve the tablet?

actualy ASA dissolves very well in Ethanol or Methanol, it`s used as a way to remove the pure ASA from the buffer agents in the tablets (often Chalk).

Why? I'm just curious
