Remember the equation

moles = mass(g) / Mr

The Mr ( Relative molecular mass) for ethanoic (acetic) acid is

CH2COOH

C x 2 = 12 x 2 = 24

H x 4 = 1 x 4 = 4

O x 2 = 16 x 2 = 32

24 + 4 + 32 = 60 ( The Mr ( Ethanoic acid) )

Substituting

moles = 458.77 g / 60 = 7.6461666.... moles

moles ~ 7.65 ( 2 d.p.)
