(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction of Salicylic acid with acetic acid for the formation of aspirin has to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
Balancing the equation:
- There is a Law for conversion of mass in a
chemical reaction i.e., the mass of total amount of the product should be equal to the total mass of the reactants. - First write the skeletal reaction from the given information.
- Then count the number of atoms of each element in reactants as well as products.
- Place suitable coefficients in front of reactants as well as products until the number of atoms on each side (reactants and products) becomes equal.

Explanation of Solution
Given reaction equation:
Balancing the chemical Equation:
Count the number of atoms on each side of the reaction.
Atom | Reactant side | Product side |
9 | 9 | |
10 | 10 | |
5 | 5 |
Yes, the number of atoms present on each side of the reaction is same. Hence, the given equation is already balanced.
