According to my astronomy book, it's about 0.206
Answer: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
mass of acetic anhydride =
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of salycylic acid require 1 mole of acetic anhydride
Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid require=
of acetic anhydride
Thus salycylic acid is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and acetic anhydride is the excess reagent.
As 1 mole of salycylic give = 1 mole of aspirin
Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid give =
of aspirin
Mass of aspirin =
Thus theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g
Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)
Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol
Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol
<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>
