Answer:
The protonated form is predominant when aspirin is absorbed more readily. The ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100.
Explanation:
Aspirin is more readily absorbed when it is protonated, that is when pH is lower than pKa (<em>more H⁺ available in the medium</em>). We can confirm this using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH = 1.5:
When aspirin is absorbed more readily the ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100, being the acid the <em>predominant</em> form.
