AI Thread Summary
Mixing C9H8O4 (commonly known as aspirin) with HCl results in a chemical reaction where the aspirin may dissolve and produce bubbles due to the release of carbon dioxide. The reaction can lead to the formation of new compounds, potentially including a haloalkane group and a hydroxyl (OH) group. However, the specific outcome can vary, as there are 264 different compounds with the formula C9H8O4, indicating multiple possible reactions depending on the specific structure of the aspirin used.

What happens when you mix C9H8O4(s) + HCl(l)? As in the chemical reaction. Does it dissolve, bubble?

Help would much be appreciated, thanks!

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.

Chemspider finds 264 compounds with a formula C9H8O4. That means technically there are 264 possible answers to the question.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
