3. The molecular formula of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), one of the most commonly used pain
relievers, is C9H8O4.

a. Calculate the molar mass of aspirin. (180 g/mol)

b. A typical aspirin tablet contains 325 mg of C9H8O4. How many molecules of

acetylsalicylic acid is in a tablet? (1.09 x 1021)
4. Manganese metal can be prepared by a thermite reaction.

4 Al(s) + 3 MnO2(s) → 3 Mn(s) + 2 Al2O3(s)

a. What mass of manganese metal (in g) can be produced from the reaction of 2.935 g of
aluminum with an excess of manganese(IV)oxide? (4.479 g)

b. If, in the reaction, only 2.386 g of manganese was produced, what is the percentage
yield? (53.27 %)

Ans. = ______ g Mn

Ans. = ______ %

5. Calcium nitrate and ammonium fluoride react to form calcium fluoride, nitrogen monoxide,
and water vapor. What mass of calcium fluoride is formed after 15.0 g calcium nitrate and
17.5 g ammonium fluoride are reacted? (7.14 g)

Ans. = _______ g CaF2

6. The percentage composition of acetic acid is found to be 39.9% C, 6.7% H, and 53.4% O.
Determine the empirical formula of acetic acid. (CH2 O) The molar mass was determined by
experiment to be 60.0 g/mol. What is the molecular formula? (C2H4 O2)

7. Aniline, a starting material for urethane plastic foams, consists of C, H, and N. Combustion
of such compounds yields CO2, H2O, and N2 as products. If the combustion of 9.71 g of
aniline yields 6.63 g H2O and 1.46 g N2, what is its empirical formula? (C6H7 N) The molar
mass of aniline is 93 g/mol. What is its molecular formula? (C6H7 N)
