11. Solid Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) and aqueous acetic acid are products of a reaction between solid salicylic acid (C7H6O3) and liquid acetic anhydride [(CH3CO)2O]. In one preparation, 3.077 g of salicylic acid and 5.50 mL of acetic anhydride (d = 1.080 g/mL) form 3.281 g aspirin. a. Write the balanced chemical equation of this reaction. b. Find the theoretical yield of this reaction in g. c. What is the limiting reactant in this reaction? d. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
