In the above reaction, which takes place in the presence of 2.5 g of H2SO4 catalyst, after adding 4.65 mL of acetic anhydride to the reaction vessel, how many grams of salicylic acid, which is the limiting reactant, should be in the environment so that the reaction takes place in 68% yield compared to acetic anhydride? How many grams of acetylsalicylic acid formed? How many L of acetic acid will be formed?
