Starting with 6.3 g of salicylic acid, how many grams of acetylsalicylic acid (theoretical yield) can be made? Assume salicylic acid is the limiting reagent and a one to one stoichiometry. Use the molecular weights that you have already calculated. Give two significant digits.

We will produce 8.2 grams of acetylsalicylic acid

Explanation:

step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid, = 6.3 grams

Molar mass salicylic acid = 138.12 g/mol

Molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 180.158 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 → C9H8O4 + C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 6.3 grams / 138.12 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0456 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles acetylsalicylic acid

Since the mole ratio is 1 to 1

For 0.0456 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0456 moles acetylsalicylic acid

Step 5: Calculate mass acetylsalicylic acid

MAss acetylsalicylic acid = moles acetylsalicylic acid * molar mass acetylsalicylic acid

MAss acetylsalicylic acid = 0.0456 moles * 180.158 g/mol

Mass acetylsalicylic acid = 8.2 grams

We will produce 8.2 grams of acetylsalicylic acid

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
