Question

•Theoretical yield of aspirin:

Theoretical yield=

mass salicylic acid used*( 1 ??? ?7?6?3           ? ?7?6?3 ( (1 mol C7H6O3)/(           g C7H6O3) )*(1 ??? ?9?8?41 ??? ?7?6?3(1 mol C9H8O4)/(1 mol C7H6O3))(          ? ?9?8?41 ??? ?9?8?4(          g C9H8O4)/(1 mol C9H8O4))

**The molar masses of the salicylic acid and the acetylsalicylic acid will need to be calculated using the periodic table before finding the theoretical yield.

% yield of aspirin

% yield= actual yield/theoretical yield * 100

The actual yield would be the observed mass of aspirin made in lab.

Data Table Aspirin Synthesis Data
Mass of salicylic acid (g)    2.010 g
Mass of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) (g)   2.105 g
**Theoretical Yield of Aspirin (g)
**% Yield of Aspirin

Answer 1

Data Table Aspirin Synthesis Data
Mass of salicylic acid (g)	2.010 g
Mass of aspirin (actual yield ) (g)	2.105 g
**Theoretical Yield of Aspirin (g)	2.6217 g
**% Yield of Aspirin 80.29 %
