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
Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.
For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.
Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.
If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.
The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.
