CSEC Chemistry · May/June 2017 · Paper 2 · Question 2(a)(ii)

Lesley needs to weigh 0.20 moles of aspirin. She reads the label on the aspirin bottle, shown in Figure 4, which provides information such as formula (C₉H₈O₄), molar mass (180 g mol⁻¹), melting point (136 °C), boiling point (140 °C), and density (1.40 g cm⁻³).

Calculate the mass Lesley would have to weigh to obtain 0.20 moles of aspirin.
