When acetic anhydride is dissolved in water, it forms acetic acid according to the balanced chemical reaction shown below. calculate the theoretical yield (in grams of acetic acid, fw 60.05 g/mol) if 8.79 ml of acetic anhydride (fw 102.09 g/mol,

d. 1.08 g/ml) is used. you can assume that the water is present in excess?
