The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.05⋅g⋅mol−1

Explanation:

And how did we get this quantity? All I did was take the molar mass of each element in the formula of acetic acid, weighted according to its frequency, i.e.

Molar mass =

{2×12.011(C)+4×1.00794(H)+2×15.999(O)}⋅g⋅mol−1

= 60.05⋅g⋅mol−1.

And can you tell me how many acetic acid molecules there are in such a mass?
