3.
What is the molecular weight of Aspirin (acetylsalysylic acid: C9H8O4).

 4.
What is the percent composition of C, H and O in Aspirin (see problem 3 above).
 5.

Lactic acid contains C, H and O atoms. The mass percentage of these atoms is C: 40%, H: 6.7%, 53.3%. The molecular weight of lactic acid is 90 g/mol.

a) What is the emprical formula of lactic acid?
 
b) What is the molecular formula of lactic acid?
6. 

Lead metal is obtained from the mineral lead sulfide through the following reaction:

2PbS(s) + 2C(s) + 3O2(g) ---> 2Ps(s) +2CO(g) + 2SO2(g)

a) If 100 g of PbS is reacted with excess C and O2 what mass of lead metal will be obtained?
 
b) Suppose 100 g of PbS is reacted with 4g of C and excess O2.
 
i) What is the limiting reactant?
 
ii) What mass of lead metal will be obtained?
 
c) What mass of oxygen is needed to produce 500 g of lead metal?

 7.

Hydrogen and oxygen gas react to form water:

2H2(g) + O2(g) ---> H2O(l)

This reaction is exothermic and releases -285.8 kJ of heat. How much heat will be released if10 g of H2(g) is reacted with excess oxygen?
