Use the molar mass of salicylic acid to convert 1.5 grams to moles. The theoretical yield of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) would be the same number of moles as the number of moles of salicylic acid you began with. Finally convert than number of moles back to grams using the molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid, and you're done.
