MathMate
molar mass of CH3COOH
=(12+3+12+16+16+1)
=60
mass of acetic acid in 250 mL of 0.26M
=(250/1000) L * 0.26*60
= 3.9 g
=(12+3+12+16+16+1)
=60
mass of acetic acid in 250 mL of 0.26M
=(250/1000) L * 0.26*60
= 3.9 g

What Mathmate gave you is correct for grams acetic acid in the solution. The problems ask for mols and that is obtained by mols = M x L = ? (in this case just omit the 60).
