HC2H3O2 is the formula of acetic acid. How many moles of carbon are in a 8.91 mole sample of acetic acid?
I have a bunch of questions like this on a computer drill that I'm doing for my summer course in Chemistry, and my professor did explain how to do some mole calculations but I don't understand how I would find out how many moles of just C there are in a sample of acetic acid. The thing is I know the answer is 1.78E1 but I tried everything I could think of to get that answer but everything I try ends up different from that answer. please help me.
