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
