The `pK_(a)` of acteylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is `3.5`. The pH of gastric juice in human stomach is about `2-3` and the pH in the small intestine is about 8. Aspirin will be:

A

unionised in the small intestine and in the stomach

B

completely ionised in the small intestine and in the stomach

C

ionised in the stomach and almost uniunised in the small intestine

D

ionised in the small intestine and almost unionised in the stomach

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
