An experiment was performed in lab that was supposed to produce aspirin. How could chromatography be used to tell if aspirin was actually the product of the reaction?

Chromatography could be used to separate the components of the reaction mixture and identify if aspirin is present by comparing the retention time of the product to that of a known aspirin standard. If the retention time matches, it indicates the presence of aspirin in the reaction mixture. Additionally, chromatography can help determine the purity of the aspirin product by analyzing the intensity of the peak corresponding to aspirin.
