Aspirin C9H8O4 is made when salicylic acid C7H6O3 reacts with ethanoic anhydride C4H6O3 . The equation for this reaction is: C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 → C9H8O4 + CH3COOH Calculate the maximum mass of aspirin that could be made from 100 g of salicylic acid.

A relevant equation is:

mass = moles x relative formula mass 

Also written:

m = n*Mr

This reaction is a 1:1 ratio of salicylic acid to...
