Question

I'm a bit confused as to what the question is saying, so can someone please just look over my calculations and let me know if I did them correctly, and if not, can you please let me know how to fix them?  Thanks!

Suppose you got 70 mg of caffeine and you used all of it to synthesize caffeine

salicylate. What is the theoretical yield (in grams) of this reaction. Show your calculation.

Here are my calculations:

70 mg caffeine x (1 g caffeine / 1000 mg caffeine) = 0.07 g caffeine

0.07 g caffeine x (1 mol caffeine/ 194.19 g caffeine) = 0.00036 mol caffeine

Explanation / Answer

Molar mass of caffeine salicylate = 332.3 g

Molar mass of Cafeine = 194.2 g

moles of cafeine = mass/molar wt = 0.00036 mol.

moles of cafeine salicylate = 0.00036 mol

Mass = 332.3 * 0.00036 = 0.12 g.

I am sure this is correct.
