I will show the first part....
Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin to be obtained when 2.0 g of salicylic acid and 5.0 mL of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08 g/mL) are mixed together. What is the limiting reagent?
I found this to be 3.42 g/mol aspirin total, and found the salicylic acid was the limiting reagent. (I hope this part is right?)
Here is the part I am stumped on though...
If 1.6 g of aspirin were obtained in this experiment, what would be the percentage yield?
How is this determined please? Thank you!
