What is the theoretical yield of aspirin ( C 9 H 8 O 4 ), which has a molar mass of 180.15 g/mol, possible when reacting 3.03 g of salicylic acid with 3.61 mL of acetic anhydride?

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid = 3.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/cm³

Step 2: The balanced equation

C4H6O3+C7H6O3→C9H8O4+C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 3.03 grams /138.121 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0219 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass acetic anhydride

Mass acetic anhydride = volume * density

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL * 1.08 g/mL

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles acetic anhydride

Moles acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams / 102.09 g/mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 0.0382 moles

Step 6: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

Salicylic acid is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0219 moles). Acetic anhydride is in excess. There will react 0.0219 moles. There remain 0.0382 - 0.0219 =0.0163 moles

Step 7: Calculate moles aspirin

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

For 0.0219 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0219 moles aspirin

Step 8: Calculate theoretical yield of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = moles aspirin *molar mass aspirin

Mass of aspirin = 0.0219 moles *180.15 g/mol

Mass of aspirin = 3.95 grams

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

answerto predict;

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
