  • Calculate the Mass of One Mole of Acetic Acid (CH3COOH)
    To calculate the mass of one mole of acetic acid (CH3COOH), we need to add the atomic masses of each atom in the molecule.

    Here's the breakdown of the atomic masses:

    - Carbon (C): 12.01 atomic mass units (amu)

    - Hydrogen (H): 1.008 amu

    - Oxygen (O): 16.00 amu

    In CH3COOH, there are 2 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms.

    So, the mass of one mole of acetic acid is:

    (2 x 12.01 amu) + (4 x 1.008 amu) + (2 x 16.00 amu) = 60.052 amu

    Therefore, one mole of acetic acid has a mass of approximately 60.052 atomic mass units.
