Answer:
78.15 g
Explanation:
Number of moles of C₇H₆O₃ that reacted = mass/molar mass = 57.6g/126 gmol-1
Number of moles of C₇H₆O₃ = 0.457 moles of C₇H₆O₃
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of C₇H₆O₃ yields one mole of aspirin
0.457 moles of C₇H₆O₃ yields C₇H₆O₃ of aspirin
Hence theoretical yield of aspirin = 0.457 moles × 180 gmol-1 = 82.26g of aspirin
% yield = actual yield/theoretical yield ×100
Actual yield= % yield × theoretical yield/100
Actual yield = 95.0 × 82.26/100
Actual yield = 78.15 g
