Expert Solution

In ths synthesis of aspirin,

for 5 gram of salicylic acid, 3 equevalent acetic acid can be use. that is 6 to 7 ml. but with acetic acid, the reaction is not favourable. because we are using a strong acid as catalyst for the preparation of aspirin (ester formation). when we use acetic acid, there is a chance of formation of water molecule in the reaction mixture. this will cause the back reaction ( hydrolysis of ester) in the presence of the strong acid catalyst, so the yield will be low. so better to use acetic anhydride (12.5 ml) instead of acetic acid.

10 drops of Phosphoric acid can be used

10 to 15 min of heating by using a boiled water bath is good

Heating by boiled water bath is prefered (95-98 0C)

50 ml of DI water can be added after completion of the reaction and cool to room temperature. the aspirine crystals will start to form. chill the mass filter it and wash with chilled water (10 ml).

A student performed the synthesis of aspirin. After weighing their product, they had 0.501g of product. They took 0.250g of this product and diluted it to 250mL as instructed, and then used 10ml of that stock solution and diluted it to 100mL with 0.025 M Fe(NO3)3.Upon analysis with a Spectrophotometer, that solution was found to have an absorbance of .150.
