Lab 4: THE SYNTHESIS OF ASPIRIN: WEEK 1 of 2.

PRELAB

Complete the following Pre-lab assignment in your lab notebook prior to starting the lab. 1. Write out the synthesis reaction shown in Scheme 1 in your lab notebook. 2. Balance the reaction if needed. 3. Calculate the molecular mass of salicylic acid (A) and acetylsalicylic acid (C). Show your work. 4. Calculate the theoretical yield (the amount) of acetylsalicylic acid staring with 1.98g of salicylic acid. Show your work.
