What mass (in grams) of aspirin (C₉H₈O₄) is produced from 57.6 g of C₇H₆O₃ assuming 95.0% yield from the reaction below? C₇H₆O₃ (s) + C₄H₆O₃ (s) → C₉H₈O₄ (s) + HC₂H₃O₂ (aq).

71.3 g

Explanation:

molar mass of C₇H₆O₃ = 138.13 g

molar mass of = 180.17 g

find the moles of reactant: C₇H₆O₃

C₇H₆O₃ that reacted = mass/molar mass = 57.6 g C₇H₆O₃ / 138.13 g C₇H₆O₃

= 0.417 mol

From the reaction equation, 1 mole of C₇H₆O₃ yields one mole of aspirin

find theoretical yield of aspirin:

0.417 mol C7H6O3 x 180.17 g C9H8O4 / 1 mol C9H8O4

= 75.1 g C9H8O4

Actual yield= % yield × theoretical yield/100

Actual yield = 95.0 × 75.1/100

Actual yield = 71.3 g

the mantle

explanation:

earth is divided into three layers: the crust or the outermost layer on which we live; the underlying, middle layer - the mantle - and the core (the innermost layer of earth).
