1.

The molecule of Aspirin C9H8O4 contains 9C atoms, 8H atoms, and 4

Oxygen atoms. How are we using the molecular formula to write a
conversion factor and use them in the calculation of the weight of
compounds?

Mass of 9C atoms=9*12.0107 g/mol=108.0963 g/mol

Mass of 8H atoms=8*1.00794 g/mol=8.06352 g/mol
Mass of 4O atoms=4*15.9994 g/mol=63.9976 g/mol

Mass of Aspirin=(108.0963+8.06352+63.9976)g/mol=180.15742 g/mol

Conversion factor=(180.15742 g)/(1 mol) of Aspirin

2. How many moles of carbon are present in 1.50 mol of Aspirin C 9H8O4?

1 mol Aspirin=9 mol C

1.50 mol Aspirin*(9 mol C/1 mol Aspirin)=13.5 mol C

3. How can you distinguish between a single replacement reaction from a

double replacement reaction? Give an example for each.

A single-replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element is

substituted for another element in a compound, generating a new element and a
new compound as products. For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl2(aq)+H2(g).

A double-replacement reaction occurs when parts of two ionic compounds are

exchanged, making two new compounds. A characteristic of a double-replacement
equation is that there are two compounds as reactants and two different
compounds as products. An example is, CuCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq)→Cu(NO3)2(aq)
+2AgCl(s).
