Expert Solution
Analysis

Given: Reaction yield = 92.0%

           Mass of aspirin = 5. 00 gram

To find : mass of reactant salicylic acid 

Solution : As we know that, when salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride then acetyl salicylic acid formed as major product and acetic acid formed as byproduct. 

We know that mole of any compound depends upon the mass of compound and molar mass of the compound.

Mole = mass / molar mass
