Naproxen (also known as Aleve) is an anti-inflammatory drug used to reduce pain, fever, inflammation, and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Naproxen is an organic acid; its structure is shown in Figure P15.96. Naproxen has limited solubility in water, so it is sold as its sodium salt. a. Draw the molecular structure of the sodium salt. b. Is an aqueous solution of the salt acidic or basic? Explain why. c. Explain why the salt is more soluble in water than naproxen itself. (Check your book to see figure)
