Explanation / Answer

100 *(325 mg)*(1 g / 1000 mg) *( 1mol aspirin/180.2 g) = 0.1804moles aspirin => need 0.1804/0.60 moles salicylic acid and aceticanhydride 0.1804 moles salicylic acid / 0.60   *( 138.1 g /mol) =41.5 grams salicylic acid 0.1804 moles salicylic acid / 0.60   *( 102.1 g /mol) =30.7 grams acetic anhydride
