Stoichiometry: Prolonged exposure of some functionalities to the cluent (methanol) in this experiment may lead to undesirable reactions. In one case, Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) can react with methanol to form salicylic acid and methyl acetate. If 800 mg of Acetylsalicylic acid and 1 mL of Methanol undergoes such a side reaction (known as "Methanolysis") to completion: (a) write a balanced equation (draw all molecules instead of writing chemical formulas), (b) what is the limiting reagent? (c) predict the grams of salicylic acid and methyl acetate to be produced in this process. Show calculations. Hint: you can determine the grams of I mL of Methanol through its density.

Question
Stoichiometry: Prolonged exposure of some functionalities to the eluent (methanol) in this experiment may
lead to undesirable reactions. In one case, Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) can react with methanol to form
salicylic acid and methyl acetate. If 800 mg of Acetylsalicylic acid and 1 mL of Methanol undergoes such a
side reaction (known as "Methanolysis") to completion: (a) write a balanced equation (draw all molecules
instead of writing chemical formulas), (b) what is the limiting reagent? (c) predict the grams of salicylic acid
and methyl acetate to be produced in this process. Show calculations. Hint: you can determine the grams of 1
mL of Methanol through its density.
