Question

Calculate the molar mass of the following compounds in g/mol.
CH3CO2H

Answer 1

60g/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

By using nucleon numbers given on the periodic table, the mass of 1 mole of each element is:

C= 12g

H= 1g

O= 16g

Since molar mass is the sum of the masses of each element present in the compound,

Molar Mass (Mr) = 12+3(1)+12+16(2)+1 = 60g/mol
