Do you mean formula? Structure? Equation implies there is a reaction taking place.
Aspirin's full chemical name is 2-ethanoyl hydroxybenzoic acid and the formula is C9H8O4
I've already tried and failed once to render a molecular structure using text so if you want to know that it takes 10 seconds of googling.

How to write the equation for the reaction by which aspirin decomposes in an aqueous ethanol solution?
The chemical reaction is: One mole of aspirin plus one mole of water yields one mole of salicylic acid plus one mole of acetic acid. Aspirin=C9H8O4 Salicylic acid=C7H6O3 Acetic acid=C4H6O3
In the aspirin synthesis excess acetic anhydride is hydrolyzed by the addition of water which converts the anhydride into acetic acid Write the balanced equation for this reaction?
The reaction is: (CH3CO)2O + H2O = 2 CH3COOH
What is the process of making aspirin?
Aspirin is made when salicylic acid and acetic anhydride is reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst such as H2SO4. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid is formed. The reaction is an esterification reaction.
What is the difference between old and new aspirin?
When aspirin gets old, it begins to decompose and you get a vinegar smell. If you smell that, the aspirin is decomposing and acetic acid is being released. Aspirin should be used before the decomposition occurs. It will still work, because the salicylic acid that does the work is still there. It can be corrosive to the stomach and that's why they combine it with a process that produces acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). When decomposition occurs, you get salicylic acid and acetic acid.
Any reaction with aspirin and aloe vera?
No
Is aspirin synthesis an exothermic reaction?
yes
How do you know which OH group on salicylic acid reacts to form aspirin?
Aspirin is formed in a reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. In this reaction it is the phenolic alcohol group that reacts to form the aspirin.
What is the chemical equation for the reaction of aspirin and water at high temperatures?
C9H8O4 - use google to find the structure. This isn't a straight chain molecule.
What is yield of aspirin?
Yield (also called as actual yield) is the amount of a product (aspirin) obtained by an experiment in a chemical reaction in a laboratory.
Does taking aspirin involve chemistry?
yes! right from production to its reaction!
Is a soluble aspirin fizzing in water a chemical reaction?
Yes. If there is the appearance of a gas (fizzing), then a chemical reaction has occurred.
What is the gas and chemical reaction when aspirin is placed in sodium bicarbonate write chemical reaction?
The chemical reaction is:C9H8O4 + NaHCO3 = C9H7O4Na + H2O + CO2
