Question:

The transport of aspirin (pK_a = 3.5, structure shown here) from the digestive tract to the circulation occurs by nonmediated absorption into cells lining the stomach (where pH = 0.8) and the small intestine (where pH = 6.0). Do you expect absorption to be faster in the stomach or in the small intestine?
