Acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin) can do great harm to the body in overdose, in fact, it can be lethal. Suppose a patient arrives in your hospital's emergency room who has tried to commit suicide by swallowing a whole bottle of aspirin tablets he found in his medicine chest. What might you want to do to detoxify the patient?
Administer sodium bicarbonate to alkalinize (raise pH level) the patient's urine. This will increase the fraction of aspirin in its negatively charged (A- ) form. This form is not reabsorbed from the renal tubule, and will remain in the urine to be excreted. Blood levels of aspirin will consequently decrease

64
New cards
If the name of a salt is sodium valproate, are we dealing with an acidic or a basic drug?

The structure of ascorbic acid is shown below. Note that the compound has two alcoholic OH groups attached directly to the ring. We just stated that aliphatic/alicyclic alcoholics are not acids. Then why is ascorbic acid acidic?
a certain OH group within the molecule is acidic because once this OH group loses (donates) its proton and the negative charge forms on the oxygen atom of the anion, it can be delocalized (and hence, stabilized) via resonance with the carbonyl oxygen.
