Answer:

Number of moles = 0.1058 mol

Explanation:

Density = 1.08 g/mL

Volume = 10ml

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density * Volume

Mass = 1.08 * 10 = 10.8g

The molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.09 g/mol

Molar mass = Mass / Moles

Upon solving for moles;

Moles = Mass / Molar mass

Moles = 10.8 / 102.09 = 0.1058 mol

The moles of acetic acid used in the experiment has been 0.1058 mol.

Density has been defined as mass of a substance per unit volume. The density has been expressed as:

[tex]\rm Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume} [/tex]

The moles have been the mass of the substance with respect to the molar mass. The moles of a substance has been given as:

[tex]\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass} [/tex]

Computation for the Moles of Acetic Acid

The given sample of acetic acid has density = 1.08 g/ml

The volume of the sample used in the experiment has been 10 ml.

Substituting the values for the mass of acetic acid:

[tex]\rm 1.08=\dfrac{Mass}{10}\\ Mass=1.08\;\times\;10\;g\\ Mass=10.8\;g[/tex]

The mass of the acetic acid used has been 10.8 g.

The molar mass of acetic acid has been 102.09 g/mol.

Substituting the values for the moles of acetic acid:

[tex]\rm Moles=\dfrac{10.8}{102.09} \\ Moles=0.1058\;mol[/tex]

The moles of acetic acid used in the experiment has been 0.1058 mol.
