Follow-Up Post Instructions (Discussion)Respond to at least one peer. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification. Here are some suggestions for how you can add to the discussion and explore the Week 1 content in more detail:1. Respond to a peer’s option 1 post and research/discuss one of their chemical compounds. Using the naming rules we learned in class, walk us through each step.Writing RequirementsAPA format for in-text citations and list of referencesPeer DiscussionI chose option 1 for the discussion this week. I picked the molecule aspirin (C9H8O4). Aspirin is one the most used drugs in healthcare and can be rapidly absorbed from stomach and small intestine (Goldberg, 2009). It is used to treat pain, inflammation and reduce risk of blood clots. Aspirin is also an important drug because it can be used to reduce risk of myocardial infraction or stroke.Goldberg, D.
