Determine the maximum mass of aspirin


Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting the salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation is    
C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 -->C9H8O4 + HC2H3O2

1. Explain what mass of acetic anhydride is required to completely consume the1.00 * 102 g salicylic acid?  

2. Determine the maximum mass of aspirin that could be formed in this reaction?
