6. (a) Aspirin is a weak acid with a pKa of 3.6 and MW 180 g/mol. The saturation solubility (S) of aspirin in water is 3.3 g /L and a saturated solution has pH equal to your answer to question 4(b) above. What is the solubility of the unionised form (So) of aspirin at this pH using units of mol/L and g/L. (b) Use the So value (just obtained) to calculate the saturation solubility (S) of aspirin in water at pH 6.6 using units of mol/L and g/L. (c) If you modified the aspirin suspension APF12 formula by replacing the purified water with pH 6.6 buffer, would the product be a suspension or solution?
