The molecular formula of acetylsalicylic acid is C9H8O4. How many molecules of C9H8O4 are in a 750.0mg tablet of asprin?

1 answer

First, let me point out that a 750 mg tablet of aspirin has ASA in it BUT it also contains a binder and some inert ingredients. I assume the 750 mg is all acetylsalicylic acid.
How many mols are there?
0.750 g/molar mass ASA.
Then remember there are 6.02 x 10^23 molecules in a mole.
