Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2019 Chemistry Question 33
Practice objective / multiple choice question 33 from the 2019 Igcse Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
In the synthesis of aspirin, 2.00 g of salicylic acid (M = 138.12 g mol^{-1}) is mixed with 3.00 g of acetic anhydride (M = 102.09 g mol^{-1}) and the reaction is allowed to proceed to completion. The reaction is 1\!:\!1 molar between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride, producing aspirin (M = 180.16 g mol^{-1}) and acetic acid. After purification, 0.250 g of aspirin is obtained. Determine (a) which reactant is the limiting reagent, (b) the theoretical yield of aspirin, and (c) the percentage yield of the reaction.
