The theoretical yield of aspirin is 0.266 g.
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
Given,
Mass of salicylic acid used = 0.205 g
To find,
Theoretical yield of aspirin =?
We know,
Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.12 g
The molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g
Moles of salicylic acid = given mass/ molar mass
= 0.205/138.12
= 0.00148 mole
One mole of salicylic acid gives one mole of aspirin.
Therefore 0.00148 moles of salicylic acid will give = 0.00148 × 180.16
= 0.266 g of aspirin
Hence, the theoretical yield of aspirin is 0.266 g.
