Aspirin is adimistered in the form of a salt or in the presence of `NaHCO_3`. This is to avoid the side effects of a compound X obtained during hydrolysis. Here X is

A

Sulphuric acid

B

Acetic acid

C

Phenol

D

2-hydroxy benzoic acid

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the compound X obtained during the hydrolysis of aspirin, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure of Aspirin Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, has a specific chemical structure. It consists of a benzene ring with an acetyl group (–COCH₃) and a carboxylic acid group (–COOH) attached to it. ### Step 2: Identify the Hydrolysis Reaction When aspirin undergoes hydrolysis, it breaks down into its constituent parts. The hydrolysis of aspirin typically results in the formation of salicylic acid and acetic acid. ### Step 3: Determine the Compound X The compound that is formed during the hydrolysis of aspirin is salicylic acid, which is also known as 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. This compound can cause various side effects such as irritation to the eyes and skin, vomiting, and diarrhea. ### Step 4: Conclusion Thus, the compound X that is obtained during the hydrolysis of aspirin and is associated with side effects is **2-hydroxybenzoic acid**. ### Final Answer X is **2-hydroxybenzoic acid**. ---
