A chemist starts with 1.75g of salicylic acid as the limitingreagent. 1.6 equivalents of acetic anhydride is needed for everyequivalent of salicylic acid. The chemist actually synthesized 0.8gof crude acetylsalicylic acid from the reaction and 0.6 g of pureacetylsalicylic acid after purification.

Salicylic acid + Acetic Anhydride "yields" Acetylsalicylic Acid +Acetic Acid

1) What is the theoretical yield of acetylsalicylic acid?
2) What is the percent yield of acetylsalicylic acid?
3) What is the percent recovery of acetylsalicylic acid?
4) What is the theoretical yield of acetic acid?
5) How many mmoles of acetic acid is produced in thereaction?
6)How many mmoles of acetylsalicylic acid is produced in thereaction?
