Question

question 2 (1 point)
what is the molar mass of salicylic acid? use the periodic table above. your answer will be in g/mol with two decimal places but do not include the units in your response.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid

Salicylic acid has the molecular formula \(C_7H_6O_3\).

Step2: Find the molar mass of each element

From the periodic table:

• Molar mass of \(C = 12.01\ g/mol\)
• Molar mass of \(H=1.008\ g/mol\)
• Molar mass of \(O = 16.00\ g/mol\)

Step3: Calculate the molar mass of salicylic acid

For \(C_7H_6O_3\):
