Aspirin can be made in the laboratory by reacting acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) with salicylic acid (C7H6O3) to form aspirin (C9H8O4) and acetic acid (C2H4O2). The balanced equation is
C4H6O3+C7H6O3? C9H8O4+C2H4O2
In a laboratory synthesis, a student begins with 2.90mL of acetic anhydride (density=1.08g/ml) and 1.28g of salicylic acid. Once the reaction is complete, the student collects 1.23g of aspirin.
