Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation is:

C7H6O3   C4H6O3  C9H8O4 HC2H3O2

(a) What mass of acetic anhydride is needed to completely consume 1.00 102 g salicylic acid?

(b) What is the maximum mass of aspirin (the theoretical yield) that could be produced in this reaction?
