The chemical formula of aspirin is C9H8O4. What is the mass of 0.40 mol
of aspirin?​

Explanation:

To convert from moles to grams, we must use the molar mass (also known as the gram formula mass).

First, look up the molar masses of the elements in the formula.

C: 12.011 g/mol H: 1.008 g/mol O: 15.999 g/mol

Next, multiply by the subscript, because it tells us the number of atoms of each element in the formula.

C₉: 4(12.011 g/mol)= 108.099 g/mol H₈: 8(1.008 g/mol)= 8.064 g/mol O₄: 4(15.999 g/mol)= 63.996 g/mol

Add the values.

108.099 + 8.064+63.996=180.159 g/mol

Use this molar mass as a ratio.

Multiply by the given number of moles, 0.40

The units moles of aspirin cancel.

The original number of moles has 2 sig figs (4 and 0), so answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, it is the ones place. The 0 in the tenth place tells us to leave the 2.

The answer is b i think

The correct answer is:   bri hope this answer was ! : )
