Question

Aspirin (C9H8O4) may be synthesized by mixing salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with excess acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation is C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 C9H8O4 + C2H4O2 When 2.0 g of salicylic acid is mixed with excess acetic anhydride, 1.7 g of aspirin is collected. What is the percent yield for this reaction? Aspirin (C9H8O4) may be synthesized by mixing salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with excess acetic anhydride (C4H6O3).

Step 1

- Molar mass of salicylic acid (C7H6O3): \( 7 \times 12.01 \, \text{g/mol} + 6 \times 1.01 \, \text{g/mol} + 3 \times 16.00 \, \text{g/mol} = 138.12 \, \text{g/mol} \) - Molar mass of aspirin (C9H8O4): \( 9 \times 12.01 \, \text{g/mol} + 8 \times 1.01 \, Show more…

The chemical reaction of 100 g of salicylic acid, C7H6O3, with excess acetic anhydride produces 50.0 g of aspirin, C9H8O4, according to the equation. What is the percentage yield for the reaction shown below? Please show your work. C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 → C9H8O4 + C2H4O2

David C.

In the reaction shown, 72.1 g of salicylic acid, C7H6O3, reacts with excess acetic anhydride, C4H6O3, producing 38.8 g of aspirin, C9H8O4. C7H6O3(s) + C4H6O3(l) ⟶ C9H8O4(s) + CH3CO2H(l) Calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Keerti J.

Aspirin can be made in the laboratory by reacting acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) with salicylic acid (C7H6O3) to form aspirin (C9H8O4) and acetic acid (C2H4O2). The balanced equation is: C4H6O3 + C7H6O3-C9H8O4 + C2H4O2 In a laboratory synthesis, a student begins with 3.00 mL of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08 g>mL) and 1.25 g of salicylic acid. Once the reaction is complete, the student collects 1.22 g of aspirin. Determine the limiting reactant, theoretical yield of aspirin, and percent yield for the reaction.

00:01 Hello students welcome here in this question we have a reaction so salsic acid c7 h6 o3 is reacting with estic unhydrate c4 h6 o3 to give aspirin c9 h8 o4 plus c2 h4 o2 asic acid okay so we have 2 grams of salsic acid is reacting with excess of asthmhydrate to give 1 .7 grams of c9 h .p. 00:41 Asprim. 00:41 So what is the percentage yield of this reaction? okay, we had to calculate it. 00:48 So you know that 2 grams is reacting to give 1 .7 grams. 00:53 So the molar mass of salslic acid is 138 grams. 00:58 And for this one aspirin is 180 grams okay so 38 grams of salsic acid reacting to give 180 grams of aspirin 2 grams of aspirin salzlic acid to give how much mass of this one is c8 aspirin okay so mass of aspirin is equal multiplied by 2 divided by 138...
