Question

How many molecules in 400g of acetic acid

Answer 1

Answer:chemical formula of acetic acid is  or

so, molecular mass of acetic acid = 2 × atomic mass of C + 4 × atomic mass of H + 2 × atomic mass of O

= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1 + 2 × 16

= 24 + 4 + 32

= 60g/mol

given mass of acetic acid = 22g

so, no of moles of acetic acid = given mass/molecular mass

= 22/60 ≈ 0.367

so, number of moles of acetic acid is 0.367mol

number of molecules in 0.367 mol of acetic acid = 6.022 × 10²³ × 0.367

= 2.21 × 10²³
