Calculate the mass and volume corresponding to 2 mmol of methyl salicylate. The molecular weight of methyl salicylate is 152.1 g/mol and the density of methyl salicylate is 1.174 g/ml

Respuesta :

The mass and volume of methyl salicylate present in a 2 mmol sample are 0.3042 g and 0.259 mL respectively.

What is the mass of methyl salicylate in 2 mmol sample?

The mass of methyl salicylate present in a 2 mmol sample is determined from the molar mass of  methyl salicylate.

  • mass = number of moles * molar mass

molecular weight of methyl salicylate is 152.1 g/mol

number of moles = 2 mmol = 0.002 moles

mass = 0.002 moles * 152.1 g/mol

mass of methyl salicylate = 0.3042 g

Volume is determined from the density and mass

  • Volume = mass/density

volume of methyl salicylate = 0.3042 g/ 1.174 g/ml

volume of methyl salicylate = 0.259 mL
