Question

Weight (In Grams) of Aspirin: 3.0143

(i) Calculate the Theoretical moles of Aspirin (MUST identify which one is the limiting reagent)

Answer 1

Given

Actual mass of aspirin (experimental yield) = 3.0143 g

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Convert grams of aspirin to moles

moles of aspirin = mass ÷ molar mass

moles of aspirin = 3.0143 g ÷ 180.16 g/mol

moles of aspirin = 0.01673 mol
