Aspirin Synthesis

My partner and I are unfortunately not able to participate in the synthesis of Aspirin. We were given a very difficult and unfair pre-lab question which nobody answered correctly. So instead of performing the experiment I read so much about, I will just have to receive data from other students who were given a less difficult lab question. I was very interested in watching the crystallization of this reaction. The salicylic acid and acetic anhydride would mix and sulfuric acid would act as a catalyst to begin the reaction.
