Acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as Aspirin is used to treat fever, inflammation, and acts as a blood thinning agent. A group of STEM students experimented on the synthesis of this compound using recrystallization technique. The following are the initial materials for the experiment: 5.00 g of pure salicylic acid, 7.14 g of acetic anhydride and 8 drops concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. After successful synthesis, the group was able to collect 5.25 grams of Aspirin. (Atomic weights: C= 12 amu; H = 1 amu; O= 16 amu; density acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL) Chemical reaction involved: OH -CH3 -CH3 с-он C-CH3 CH3-C-OH c-OH Acetic anhydride Salicylic acid (C7H603) Acetylsalicylic acid Acetic Acid (C 4H603) (C 9H804) (C 2 H402) low many molecules will be present in the Aspirin produced? 2.18 x1022 O 7.44 x1022 O 8.13 x1022 O 9.20 x1022
