IB Topic(1) Quantitative Chemistry Paper2

1. Aspirin, one of the most widely used drugs in the world, can be prepared according to the
equation given below.

(a) State the names of the three organic functional groups in aspirin.
(3)

(b) A student reacted some salicylic acid with excess ethanoic anhydride. Impure solid
aspirin was obtained by filtering the reaction mixture. Pure aspirin was obtained by
recrystallization. The following table shows the data recorded by the student.

Mass of salicylic acid used 3.15 ± 0.02 g


Mass of pure aspirin obtained 2.50 ± 0.02 g

(i) Determine the amount, in mol, of salicylic acid, C6H4(OH)COOH, used.


(2)

(ii) Calculate the theoretical yield, in g, of aspirin, C6H4(OCOCH3)COOH.


(2)

(iii) Determine the percentage yield of pure aspirin.


(1)

(iv) State the number of significant figures associated with the mass of pure aspirin
obtained, and calculate the percentage uncertainty associated with this mass.
(2)

(v) Another student repeated the experiment and obtained an experimental yield of
150 %. The teacher checked the calculations and found no errors. Comment on
the result.
