    in theoretical yield are obtained 2.61 g of aspirin from 2.0 g of salicylic acid and 5 mL of acetic anhydride

    Explanation:

    Aspirin (C9H8O4)

    ∴ mm C9H8O4 = 180 g/mol

    salicylic acid (C7H6O3)

    ∴ mm C7H6O3 = 138 g/mol

    acetic anhydride (C4H6O3)

    ∴ mm C4H6O3 = 102 g/mol

    acetic acid (C2H4O2)

    ∴ mm C2H4O2 = 60 g/mol

    reaction:

    C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 → C9H8O4 + C2H4O2

    ∴ g C7H6O3 = 2.0 g

    ∴ g C4H6O3 = (5.0 mL) (1.08 g/mL) = 5.4 g

    limit reagent (L. R):

    ∴ n C7H6O3 = (2 g) (mol/138 g) = 0.0145 mol C7H6O3 (L. R)

    ∴ n C4H6O3 = (5.4 g) (mol/102 g) = 0.053 mol C4H6O3 (E. R)

    theoretical yield:

    Amount of product predicted by balanced equation when all limit reagent reacts

    ⇒ n C9H8O4 = (0.0145 mol C7H6O3) (mol C9H8O4/mol C7H6O3) = 0.0145 mol C9H8O4

    ⇒ g C9H8O4 = (0.0145 mol) (180 g/mol) = 2.61 g C9H8O4
