What would happen if the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel?
If the excess acetic anhydride is not removed in the reaction vessel an unwanted reaction will occur. The acetic anhydride will react causing esterification.
Why add of little amount from acetic anhydride in synthesis of acetanilide?
Acetic anhydride and aniline are the reactants for the preparation of acetaanilide.
Reaction of methyl amine and acetic anhydride?
No it is not among these.
Is acetic anhydride powder or liquid?
Liquid
What are the compound names for salicylic acid and acetic anhydride?
Your question has the names right in it. Maybe it's the chemical formulas you want. In that case, salicylic acid is C7H6O3 and acetic anhydride is C4H6O3.
Is acetic anhydride an acid or a base?
An anhydride is not an acid and not a base.

What is the reaction when zinc acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid are combine?
Acetanilide
Why acetic anhydride used instead of acetic acid to prepare aspirin?
The -OH in acetic acid is not a very good leaving group so converting it to an ester is more complicated unlike acetic anhydride which is easier to do so.
Acetic anydryd to acetic cloride?
To get acetyl chloride, you need to react ethanoyl ethanoate and acetic acid anhydride.
Reaction of methyl amine and acetic anhydride?
No it is not among these.
Is acetic anhydride powder or liquid?
Liquid
In the preparation of aspirin water is added to the reaction flask Why?
The formation of aspirin will proceed faster if acetic anhydride is used in place of acetic acid. However, acetic anhydride will hydrolyze in the presence of water to form acetic acid, slowing down the reaction.
How can we react dehydrating agent with acetic acid?
Dehydration of acetic acid to prepare acetic anhydride occur at 8oo oC.
What are the compound names for salicylic acid and acetic anhydride?

What is acetolysis?
Acetolysis is the process of the breakdwon of an organic compound using either acetic acid or acetic anhydride.
