Explanation / Answer

15) The aspirin is made up of acetyl salicylic acid and when it is gets in a contact with the moisture, it starts to decompose and liberate the acetic acid(vinegar), so if the smell is too strong it means most of the aspirin has decomposed and no further useful. So she shouldn't take that medicine and should buy new aspirin.
