B. The balanced chemical equation shows one mole of salicylic acid will produce one mole
of aspirin. So the answer to step 1 is also the number of moles of aspirin that can be
theoretically produced. Multiply this number by the molecular weight of aspirin. The
answer is the theoretical mass in grams of aspirin obtainable.
C. The percent yield is the experimental mass (the mass of aspirin you obtained after the
recrystallization), divided by the theoretical mass (the answer to step B), times 100.
