Question: calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin using your reactant values following the procedure in picture data: 2.03g of Salicylic Acid 3.99mL of acetic anhydride 2.88g
Procedure Determination of % Yield Weigh your dried recrystallized aspirin sample from your drawer and record the mass in your lab notebook. What is the change in the mass after the loss of water since you isolated it? A. Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin: The Theoretical Yield is the number of grams of product expected from the reaction on the basis of ideal stoichiometry. Theoretical yield (g)=(molesoflimitingreagent))(ratio)(MW of product ) The "ratio" is the stoichiometric ratio of product to limiting reagent. B. Calculating moles of reactants: If you have mililiters of reactant (same for product): If you have grams of reactant (same for product): molesofreactant=molecularweightreactant(g/mol)greactant C. Calculate the Percent Yield using the theoretical yield that you calculated: %Yield=TheoreticalYieldActualYield100 The actual yield is the amoumt (grams) of the desired product obtained. D. Calculate the Percent Recovery of your pure recrystallized aspirin from your crude aspirin: %Recovery=MassofCrudeProductMassofPureProduct100
