Question

Aspirin has a formula c9h8o4. what is the molar mass of aspirin? 1. 95 g 2. 220 g 3. 180 g 4. 325 g

Answer 1

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of substance.
Molar masses of compounds can be calculated by the sum of the products of molar masses of individual atoms by number of corresponding individual atoms.
Compound formula is C₉H₈O₄
the molar masses of the atoms making up the compound 
C - 12 g/mol x 9  C  = 108 
H - 1 g/mol x 8 H = 8 
O - 16 g/mol x 4 O = 64
therefore molar mass of aspirin = 108 + 8 + 64 = 180 g/mol
answer is 3.180
