Answer:

Option B, aspirin’s ester group provides greater digestibility to aspirin

Explanation:

Aspirin ester group has three parts

carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH)
ester functional group (R-O-CO-R')
aromatic group (benzene ring)

Aspirin is a weak acid and hence it cannot dissolve in water readily. The reaction of Aspirin ester group with water is as follows -

aspirin

(acetylsalicylic acid) + water → salicylic acid + acetic acid

(ethanoic acid)

Aspirin passes through the stomach and remains unchanged until it reaches the intestine where it hydrolyses ester to form the active compound.

Photochemical smong result from the interaction of pollution in the presence of sunlight. The photochemical smog is result of the chemical reaction in the air between the sunlight, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds.
It is noticed as a brown haze above cities. The negative effects are: production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) increased UV radiation, irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat.
