Chapter 10, Problem 10.57P

Aspirin is prepared by the reaction of salicylic- acid with acetic anhydride as shown in the following equation. The stoichiometry of the reaction is given in the equation. Acetic acid is a by-product of the reaction and must be separated and removed so that aspirin can then be sold as a pure product. How many grams of aspirin can be prepared from 120 grams of salicylic acid? Assume that there is an excess of acetic anhydride. (Chapter 4)

Chapter 10, Problem 10.57P, Aspirin is prepared by the reaction of salicylic- acid with acetic anhydride as shown in the

Acetylsalieylic acid

(Aspirin)

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
1.In the preparation of aspirin, 6.0 grams of salicylic acid was made to react with acetic anhydride gnbydride forming 4 grams of aspirin. Calculate the % yield of aspirin. 2. calculate the amount of sodium salt of aspirin obtained from the preparation.
What are the chemical interactions present when salicylic acid mixes with an aqueous cream base
A student carried out the synthesis of aspirin as described using 3.00 g of salicylic   acid and 6.0 ml. of acetic anhydride and obtained 1.306 g of aspirin.  (a) Calculate the amount of salicylic acid used in moles:  (salicylic acid molar mass: 138.12 g/mol)     (b) Calculate the mass (g) of acetic anhydride used:   (acetic anhydride density: 1.08 g/cm³, Molar mass: 102.09 g/mol)  (c) Calculate the amount of acetic anhydride used in moles:     (d) Which one is the limiting reactant?
