An aspirin tablet contains 325 mg acetylsalicylic acid. How many acetylsalicylic acid molecules does it contain?

1 answer:

4 0

The formula of acetylsalicylic acid is C9H8O4. And the gram formula mass of the molecule is 180 g/mol. So there is 325/180 = 1.8 mol. There is 6.02*10^23 molecules per mol. So the answer is 1.08 * 10^24 molecules.

Nitric acid can be produced by the reaction of gaseous nitrogen dioxide with water. 3 no2(g) + h2o(ℓ) −→ 2 hno3(ℓ) + no(g) if 85

Naya [18.7K]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
3NO₂ + H₂O --> 2HNO₃ + NO
stoichiometry of NO₂ to NO is 3:1
molar volume is where 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L
volume of gas is directly proportional to number of moles of gas.
therefore stoichiometry can be applied for volume as well.
volume ratio of NO₂ to NO is 3:1
volume of NO₂ reacted - 854 L
therefore volume of NO formed - 854 L /3 = 285 L
volume of NO formed - 285 L
