Solve correctly please. (Gpt/Ai wrong ans not allowed)
Aspirin (C9H804) is prepared by reacting salicylic acid
(C7H603) with acetic anhydride (C4H603) according to
the balanced equation:
C7H603(s) + C4H603(1)→ C9H8O4(s) + C2H4O2(1)
A student is asked to prepare 76.71 g of aspirin. She is
told that salicylic acid is the limiting reagent and that the
reaction typically has a 47.0% yield. She is also told to use
a 34.8% excess of acetic anhydride. How many grams of
acetic anhydride should she use? Round your final
answer to three significant figures.
