To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride. A small amount of a strongacid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. In this experiment, phosphoric acid will be used as the catalyst. ... The percent yield of the crude product will be determined for this reaction.
