Vinegar contains acetic acid. The formula for acetic acid is CH3COOH. One mole of acetic acid has a mass of how many grams?

Answer 1

Would there not be 4 hydrogen atoms? The formula does say CH"3"COO"H".

Answer 2

The formula of acetic acid is NOT CHCOOH but CH3COOH which also is found back in the corrected molar mass:

The total molecular mass. 12.01 gC/mol + (3 *1.008) gH/mol + 12.01 gC/mol + 2*16.00 gO/mol + 1.008 gH/mol = 60.05 grams per mole

Answer 3

One mole of acetic acid (CH3COOH) has a molar mass of approximately 60.05 grams. This is obtained by adding up the atomic masses of carbon (12.01 g/mol), hydrogen (1.01 g/mol), and oxygen (16.00 g/mol) in the chemical formula CH3COOH.

Answer 4

The total molecular mass. 12.01 gC/mol + (3 * 1.008) gH/mol + 12.01 gC/mol + 2*16.00 gO/mol + 1.008 gH/mol = 60.05 grams per mole

Answer 5

One mole of acetic acid has a mass of 60,05 grams.
