I'm not sure, but when we did a lab about it we discovered that using more water to rinse the solution causes very much Aspirin to be lost in the purification process.
The yield of aspirin refers to the amount of aspirin produced in a chemical reaction compared to the theoretical maximum amount that could be obtained. It is typically expressed as a percentage. Yield can be affected by factors such as reaction conditions, impurities, and side reactions.
The active medical ingredient in Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, or A.S.A.
losing yield
Aspirin dissolves in warm water. If cold water is used, that will give a maximum yield.
The active ingredient in aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid, was originally derived from willow bark, which has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries. Today, aspirin is primarily synthesized from chemical compounds in a laboratory setting.
The Wikipedia entry for aspirin provides some history, including its origin as a willow bark extract, who first synthesized it chemically, and how it evolved to the OTC medication we use today.
37.16% is the expected yield in the reaction of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride used to form aspirin.
To improve the yield of recrystallization, one can use a suitable solvent, ensure proper cooling and filtering techniques, and repeat the process if necessary to enhance purity and yield of the desired compound.
Germany is credited for inventing aspirin however aspirin had already been made in France but had not been given the name aspirin and the French Chemist that made it did not market it. So 46 years later the idea was rediscovered in Germany and the Germans gave the compound the name aspirin and marketed it with the Bayer company.

Much of the yield has to do with bees, so you could increase your yield by increasing the bees in the area. In Maine they bring in hives from other states.
Call 911, rest and take nitro or aspirin.
