You work for a chemical company and have been tasked with synthesizing acetylsalicylic acid. Currently, your R&D group can achieve a 62% yield for acetylsalicylic acid using salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Your R&D group has been sent 2.84 U.S. tons of salicylic acid and 209 gallons of acetic anhydride. How much acetylsalicylic acid (in kg) can actually be produced by your group?

1 kg = 2.205 lbs

1 gal = 3.79L
