Aspirin Solubility Differences

[Acarpous]

I am curious if anyone else has noticed differences the solubility of aspirin tablets and powder.

All of the generic tablets I have come across readily disintegrate in room temperature water, whereas the powder I currently have (
Amazon.com : Priority Care Animal Aspirin Powder, 1 Lb : Pet Health Care Supplies : Pet Supplies) only partially dissolves in very hot water.

Thoughts?

maybe the tablets have something added that makes them more soluble vs the powder which is just powder?

Are you trying to dissolve a similar amount of aspirin i.e. 500mcg ?

I got the same kind and although I haven't tried dissolving it (just chased it with juice) I did notice it has no smell or taste.........is yours the same? So weird to me because the Gericare brand of aspirin definitely has a vinegarish smell and an acidic taste

I notice a very mild taste when I take it and it did have a mild smell when I first received it.
