Consider the reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride:
(CH3CO)2O(l) + HOC6H4COOH(s) → CH3CO2C6H4CO2H(s) + CH3COOH(aq)
acetic anhydride salicylic acid acetylsalicylic acid acetic acid
When 0.8012g of salicylic acid reacts with 5mL of acetic anhydride, 0.754g of aspirin (acetylsalicylic
acid) are collected. Assuming the salicylic acid is the limiting reactant calculate the theoretical yield of
aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and percent yield.
