Chapter 8.4, Problem 8.8WE
Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4), is the most commonly used pain reliever in the world. It is produced by the reaction of salicylic acid (C7H6O3) and acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) according to the following equation.
In a certain aspirin synthesis, 104.8 g of salicylic acid and 110.9 g of acetic anhydride are combined. Calculate the percent yield of the reaction if 105.6 g of aspirin are produced.
