From the periodic table:
molar mass of carbon = 12 gm
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 gm
molar mass of oxygen = 16 gm

molar mass of <span>acetylsalicylic acid = 9(12) + 8(1) + 4(16) = 180 gm

Number of moles = mass / molar mass = 0.5 / 180 = 2.778 x 10^-3 moles

To get the number of molecules, we multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number as follows:
number of molecules = </span>2.778x10^-3x6.02x10^23 =1.672 x 10^21 molecules

What are the electrons for calcium
IRINA_888 [86]
The traditional calcium atom has twenty protons and twenty electrons making it neutral.


The calcium in the pic is a calcium ion so the number of protons and electrons are not equivalent.


Since it's 2+ that means the ion is positively charged and for that to happen electrons are away.

So 20-2=18

There are 18 electrons
