Question

C9H8O4 is synthesized by reacting stoichiometric amounts of C7H6O3 and (CH3CO)2O, as shown by the balanced chemical equation in the picture: 

During the synthesis, 500 grams of salicylic acid was available for use in the experiment. 

Other Details:

MW of Salicylic Acid: 138.121 g/mol 

MW of Acetic Anhydride: 102.09 g/mol

Density of Acetic Anhydride: 1/08 g/ml

 

Question: 

(1) Calculate how many moles of Salicylic acid are available for use in the reaction and (2) assuming that there will be a 75% yield in the experiment, how many grams of Aspirin will be produced?
