Molar Mass of Salicylic Acid (C7H6O3):
(7*12.01)+(6*1.01)+(3*16.00)=138.13 g/mol C7H6O3
Salicylic Acid in Moles:
5.1444g C7H6O3 x (1 mole C7H6O3/138.13 g C7H6O3) = .037243 moles C7H6O3
Mass of Acetylsalicylic Acid:
5.4766g (Acetylsalicylic Acid + filterpater)- .4074g (filter paper)= 5.0692g Acetylsalicylic Acid
Molar Mass of Acetylsalicylic Acid (C9H8O4):
(9*12.01)+(8*1.01)+(4*16.00)=180.17 g/mol C9H8O4
Acetylsalicylic Acid in Moles:
5.0692g C9H8O4 x (1 mole C9H8O4/180.17g C9H8O4)=.028135 moles C9H8O4
I checked my work using this website: Endmemo
I agree with you that this isn't that difficult (or at least nowhere near as difficult as the pre-test made it out to be). I'd also like to thank you for the conversion website; I used it to check my calculations as well (It told me I was right!). Congrats on the amount of acetylsalicylic acid you made. Ben and I actually got almost the same amount at .027186molC9H8O4.
