Acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as Aspirin is used to treat fever, inflammation, and acts as a blood thinning agent. A group of STEM students experimented on the synthesis of this compound technique. The following are the initial materials for the experiment: 5.00 g of pure salicylic acid, 7.14 g of acetic anhydride and 8 drops concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. After successful synthesis, the group was able to collect 5.25 grams of Aspirin. (Atomic weights: C= 12 amu; H = 1 amu; O= 16 amu; density acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL) using recrystallization Chemical reaction involved: -CH3 -CH3 CH3-C-OH c-OH CH3 E-OH Acetylsaicylic acid (C 9H3O4) Acetic anhydride Salicylic acid (C7H6O3) Acetic Acid (C 4H603) (C 2 H402) Vhat is the theoretical yield of Aspirin in the synthesis experiment? O 2.17 g O 6.52 g O 12.6 g O 13.34 g O None of the above

What is the theoretical yield of Aspirin in the synthesis experiment?

Acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as Aspirin is used to treat fever,
inflammation, and acts as a blood thinning agent. A group of STEM students
experimented on the synthesis of this compound using recrystallization
technique. The following are the initial materials for the experiment: 5.00 g of
pure salicylic acid, 7.14 g of acetic anhydride and 8 drops concentrated
sulfuric acid as catalyst. After successful synthesis, the group was able to collect
5.25 grams of Aspirin. (Atomic weights: C= 12 amu; H = 1 amu; O= 16 amu;
density acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL)
