Acetyl Salicylate, C9H8O4, reacts with Potassium hydroxide. 1.75g of acetyl salicylate were hydrolyzed with 50cm3 of 0.57mol/dm3 of potassium hydroxide and the mixture were made up of 250cm3 with distilled water in a volumetric flask. Calculate: The number of moles of acetyl salicylate in 1.75g The number of moles of potassium hydroxide of 0.575mol/dm3 solution. The molarity of excess potassium hydroxide in the 250cm3 solution.  If 1.15g of salicylic acid,  C7H8O3, were obtained. Determine the percentage yield of the reaction
