The chemical formula of aspirin is C9H8O4. What is the mass of 0.40 mol
of aspirin?​

Explanation:

To convert from moles to grams, we must use the molar mass (also known as the gram formula mass).

First, look up the molar masses of the elements in the formula.

Next, multiply by the subscript, because it tells us the number of atoms of each element in the formula.

Add the values.

Use this molar mass as a ratio.

Multiply by the given number of moles, 0.40

The units moles of aspirin cancel.

The original number of moles has 2 sig figs (4 and 0), so answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, it is the ones place. The 0 in the tenth place tells us to leave the 2.

c-14 is carbon-14, or radiocarbon.   it is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
