Is Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) chiral or achiral?
Sarah AngottiAspirin is achiral.
Aspirin, pictured, has no chiral centres and planar symmetry. It cannot support optical isomerism.
The range of pharmological activity of this substance, and its ease of synthesis (which includes its LACK of optical activity), truly makes it a wonder drug.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
