Title: does salicylic acid and acetic anhydride produce water? SAC HELP
Post by: depressedchild on May 06, 2012, 09:04:43 pm

and how does it reduce the strength of aspirin?

also, when making aspirin- would time be a limitation when using glass rod to induce crystallisation?
what could be other limitations or errors?
