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 2.80 mL of acetic anhydride (density=1.08g/ml) and 1.25 g of salicylic acid. Once the reaction is complete, the student collects 1.24 g of aspirin.
What is the percentage yield?
