If you are given the number of
moles of sodium bicarbonate, use the balanced chemical equation. The molar mass
of the acetic acid is 60 grams per mole. Using stochiometric balance.
Number of moles of acetic acid =
3 moles NaHCO3 (1 mol CH3COOH/1 mol NaHCO3) = 3 moles of acetic acid
Grams of acetic acid = 3 moles
of CH3COOH (60 g CH3COOH/1 mol CH3COOH) = 180 grams of acetic acid
