. Find out the molecular mass of Acetic Acid

Answers 2

Answer:

60.05 gm /mol

Explanation:

Molar mass ={2×12.011(C)+4×1.00794(H)+2×15.999(O)}.g.mol

−1

=60.05.g.mol

The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.05⋅g⋅mol

Complete step by step answer :

[tex]\sf\implies[/tex] Chemical formula of Acetic acid [tex]\rightarrow[/tex] (C [tex]H_{3}[/tex] COOH)

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Atomic mass of C = 12

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Atomic mass of O = 16

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Atomic mass of H = 1

Molecular mass :

  • Since , there are 2 carbon atoms

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 2 × atomic mass of C

  • Since, there are 2 atoms of oxygen

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 2 × atomic mass of O

  • Since, there are 4 atoms of hydrogen

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] 4 × atomic mass of one hydrogen atom

[tex]\sf\implies[/tex] 2× 12 + 2 × 16 + 4 × 1

[tex]\sf\implies[/tex] 24 + 32 + 4

[tex]\sf\implies[/tex] 60

Since , Molecular mass is donated by u

[tex]\therefore[/tex] Molecular mass of Acetic acid is 60 u.
