Question

Calculate the number of moles in a sample of 3.6 grams of CH3COOH. Report your answer in moles to 2 decimal places. (only report the numerical answer not the units).

Answer 1

The answer is 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

CH₃COOH → Acetic acid

We determine the molar mass of acetic, which represents the mass of acetic contained in 1 mol

12g/mol . 2 + 1g/mol .4 + 16g/mol . 2 = 60 g/mol

We determine the moles for 3.6 g of CH₃COOH

3.6 g . 1mol / 60g = 0.06 moles
