Step 1
Given: Mass of aspirin = 325.0 mg Molar mass of aspirin (C9H8O4) = 180.16 g/mol Convert mass to grams: 325.0 mg = 325.0 mg * (1 g / 1000 mg) = 0.325 g Calculate moles of aspirin: Moles = Mass / Molar mass Moles = 0.325 g / 180.16 g/mol = 0.001804 Show more…

The molecular formula of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), one of the most commonly used pain relievers, is $\mathrm{C}_{9} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ a. Calculate the molar mass of aspirin. b. A typical aspirin tablet contains $500 . \mathrm{mg} \mathrm{C}_{9} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{4} .$ What amount (moles) of $\mathrm{C}_{9} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{4}$ molecules and what number of molecules of acetylsalicylic acid are in a 500.-mg tablet?
