    C. 9.97*10⁻²³

    Explanation:

    The molar mass is defined as the mass in grams of 1 mole of the molecule.

    The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.052 g/mol.

    Which means that:

    1 mole = 6.023*10²³ molecules.

    So,

    6.023*10²³ molecules of acetic acid weighs 60.052 g.

    Thus,

    1 molecule of acetic acid weighs 60.052/6.023*10²³ g.

    The mass of 1 molecule of acetic acid = 9.97*10⁻²³ g.
