What is Synthesis and Analysis of Aspirin about?
Salicylic acid was reacted with acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid to produce aspirin. The reaction mixture was heated in a water bath for 10-15 minutes then cooled in an ice bath to crystallize the aspirin. The aspirin crystals were filtered and dried, yielding 3.0 grams of aspirin. The theoretical yield was calculated to be 3.9 grams based on the limiting reagent, salicylic acid. The percent yield was determined to be 76.9%, indicating the objectives of producing and analyzing aspirin were
