acid (aspirin) is an acid with a pkem. We normally take aspirin

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is an acid with a pkem. We normally take aspirin orally, in tablet form. Assume that aspirin from a tablet enters the small intestine (pH-7). Will it be in acid form (HA) and neutral, or will it lose its proton and become negatively charged acetylsalicylate (A.)? Justify your answer. The pH in blood is typically around 7.4. Amino acids are transported free in the blood stream. Will the carboxylic acid group in the amino acid glycine be protonated (glycine-COOH) or deprotonated (glycine-COO-) when glycine is transported in the blood stream? Assume that pka for glycine-COOH is 3.1. Justify your
