QUESTION
Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation is given below.
Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation is given below. C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 C9H8O4 + HC2H3O2(a) What mass of acetic anhydride is needed to completely consume 1.50x10^2 g salicylic acid? (b) What is the maximum mass of aspirin (the theoretical yield) that could be produced in this reaction?
