You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forwardCalculate the mass in grams of 3.839 moles of (a) hydrazine, a rocket propellant. (b) caffeine, C4H5N2O.
