Two people were given 1.75 g salicylic acid and 2.00 mL of acetic anhydride. If the density of acetic anhydride is 1.0820 g/mL, how many grams of aspirin could they have prepared.

Is the answer 4.7 g

Answer 1

I worked the problem and obtained 2.28 g each or 4.56 for the two of them. Check me out on that. According to my calculations, SA is the limiting reagent.
