What is the formula for predicting the grams of Aspirin produced from reacting Salicylic Acid and Acetic Anhydride?

Answer 1

It's a four step process.
1. Write and balance the equation.
2. Convert grams SA to mols unless AA is given in which case convert that to mol. mols = grams/molar mass.
3. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation convert mols from step 2 to mols of aspirin.
4. Now convert mols aspirin to grams. g = mols x molar mass.

Answer 2

Thank you, I was stumped!
