2.513 grams of salicylic acid were allowed to react with excess acetic anhydride to give acetylsalicylic acid, or aspirin (along with acetic acid product). The aspirin was recrystallized from a chilled water/ethanol mixture to give 0.534 g of purified aspirin. What was the percent yield in this process?

A Grignard synthesis begins with 10 ml of 3 M Phenylmagnesium Bromide and 1 grams of Methyl Benzoate, the 2.56 g of triphenylmethanol. What is the theoretical and percent yield of the reaction? Assume standard workup.
Heat the reaction mixture, (p-aminophenol, distilled H2O, and acetic anhydride). with stirring, directly on a hot plate, using a thermometer to monitor the internal temperature (about 100°C). After the solid has dissolved (it may dissolve, precipitate, and redissolve), heat the mixture for an additional 10 minutes at about 100°C to complete the reaction. (Final product crude Acetaminophen) <--What if the following was heated to 200 °C instead?
It is desired to determine the molecular weight of an organic compound known to be volatile. For this, a glass balloon with a full volume of 152 mL is weighed and the weighing result is recorded as 215 g. Then, the organic compound that is desired to have some molecular weight in liquid form is added into the balloon and evaporated in a water bath until dryness. After the steam temperature is measured as 90 °C, the balloon is left to cool and the organic compound in the balloon condenses again. The balloon is then weighed again and recorded as 215,367g. Find the molecular weight of this organic compound since the pressure of the environment where the experiment is performed is 700 mmHg.
Stoichiometric calculations. (show computations)K, a pharmaceutical scientist aims to synthesize paracetamol by reacting 3.075 mg of p-aminophenol and 2.25 milliliters of acetic anhydride to produce paracetamol and acetic acid. C6H7NO + C4H6O3 à C8H9NO2 + C2H4O2 Is the chemical reaction balanced? If yes, write YES. If not, what should be the balanced equation? What is the molecular weight of p-aminophenol? What is the molecular weight of acetic anhydride? What is the molecular weight of paracetamol? What is the limiting reactant? How many grams of paracetamol was formed? K was able to produce 1.88 grams of paracetamol. What is the percentage yield?

A sample containing chlorophenol, C6H4ClOH, was analysed by gravimetric analysis. A 0.783-g of this sample goes through a chemical process allowing the chlorine in the chlorophenol to precipitate as silver chloride, weighing 0.271 g. Calculate the % (wt/wt) of the chlorophenol in the sample, assuming that chlorophenol is the only source of chlorine in the sample. Provide your answer to two decimal places and without units. Avoid using scientific notation.
A pipet is used to transfer 3.00 mL of a 2.00 M stock solution in flask “S” to a 25.00-mL volumetric flask “A,” which is then diluted with DI H2O to the calibration mark. The solution is thoroughly mixed. Next, 3.00 mL of the solution in volumetric flask “A” is transferred by pipet to a 50.00-mL volumetric flask “B” and then diluted with DI H2O to the calibration mark. Calculate the molarity of the solution in volumetric flask “B.”
