Question

Section: 6.1

20) Calculate the number of moles of aspirin, C9H8O4, in a 4.0 gram tablet.
A) 2.2 x 10-4 ċ 9 H:8 0.4
B) 2.2
C 12.61 H 1.01 16.00
C) 4.6 x 10-3
9x612.01) + 8x (1.01) +4 (16.00) - 180.17
D) 0.022
4.0 X (180.17)=720​

Answer 1

D = 0.022 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of aspirin = 4.0 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the molar mass of aspirin.

Molar mass of aspirin= 12×9 + 1×8 + 16× 4

Molar mass of aspirin= 108 + 8 + 64

Molar mass of aspirin= 180 g/mol

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.0 g/ 180 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.022 mole
