The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid.

However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.

_______ is the classic structural formula for all the addictive narcotics
oee [108]
The answer to this statement is codein. Codein, or 3-Methylmorphine by its IUPAC name, is an opiate used as pain reliever and suppressor of coughs. Its structural formula is shown in the picture. The patient's dosage of these narcotics should be strictly prescribed by the doctor. When patients take this, they feel euphoria, hence, they tend to crave for that feeling once it's gone. Too much dosage of this drug would lead to addiction. Examples of drugs with this structural formula are Cotabflu, Nalex AC, T-Koff and Pediatuss.
