Interpretation: The justification of the fact that $1$ aspirin tablet absorbs $1.0\text{g}$ of water by using pseudo-first-order kinetics is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The situation in which the second order reaction might appear to be a first order reaction then it is called pseudo-first-order reaction. In pseudo-first-order reactions, the rate of reaction is dependent only on the concentration of one reactant.

To determine: The justification of the fact that $1$ aspirin tablet absorbs $1.0\text{g}$ of water by using pseudo-first-order kinetics.
