Answer:
The correct answer is - 0.0173888 moles.
Explanation:
Aspirin, C 9 H 8 O 4 , the atomic mass rounded to the nearest whole number, so: c- 12 h- 1 o - 16
now multiply these number by how many of each there are in the formula:
c - 12 x 9 = 108
h - 1 x 8 = 8
0 - 16 x 4 = 64
add these numbers up 108 + 8 + 64 = 180
aspirin has a molar mass of
180.g mol ^− 1 . This means that one mole of aspirin will have a mass of 180 g .
You're dealing with 3.13 g of aspirin, which will be equivalent to
3.13 g /180g
= 0.0173888 moles aspirin
