OK so i get the part that salicylic acid and aspirin are in a 1:1 ratio
and i figured out that there are 834.54 mol of aspirin present (can i get a 2nd opinion on this one
)
so, i would find out how many grams there are of aspirin by mulitiplying # moles by molar mass
= 834.54g x 180.17g/mol =(approx.) 15036g =~ 15.036 kg of aspirin and thus 15.036kg of salicylic acid required since the two are in a 1:1 molar ratio.
other than probably messing up the SF, is that correct ? Thanks in advance
