    0.0018 moles

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    mass of aspirin = 0.325 g

    molar mass of aspirin = 180.1589 g/mol

    number of moles=?

    Formula:

    number of moles = mass in gram / molar mass (g/mol)

    Solution:

    now we will put the values in given formula:

    number of moles of aspirin = mass of aspirin / molar mass of aspirin

    number of moles = 0.325 g / 180.1589 g/mol

    number of moles = 0.0018 mol

    Mole:

    Mole is the unit of amount in chemistry. it is SI unit and represented by "mol".

    Example;

    one mole of hydrogen has a mass of 1.008 g and contain 6.022 * 10∧23 atoms.

    58.5 moles acetyl salicylic acid

    Explanation:

    Molar mass of acetyl salicylic acid, C9H804

    C = 12g/mole ⇒ 9*12 = 108g/mole

    H=1g/mole ⇒ 8*1 = 8

    O=16g/mole ⇒ 4*16 = 64g/mole

    ⇒108+8+64 = 180g/mole

    Moles acetyl salicylic acid:

    mole = mass * Molar mass

    moles acetyl salicylic acid = 0.325g * 180g/mole = 58.5 moles acetyl salicylic acid

    This aspirin, of 0.325g, has 58.5 moles of acetyl salicylic acid
