Chemistry

Aspirin can be prepared from salicylic acid ( C 7 H 6 O 3 ),which has a molar mass of 138.12 g/mol, and acetic anhydride ( C 4H 6 O 3 C 4 H 6 O 3 ), which has a molar mass of 102.04 g/mol. Thedensity of acetic anhydride is 1.082 g/mL.

C 7 H 6 O 3 + C 4 H 6 O 3 ⟶ C 9 H 8 O 4 + C 2 H 3 O 2

What is the theoretical yield of aspirin ( C 9 H 8 O 4 ), whichhas a molar mass of 180.15 g/mol, possible when reacting 3.19 g ofsalicylic acid with 3.75 mL of acetic anhydride?
