How many grams of acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂)would you use to make 10 L of a 0.1 M aqueous solution of acetic acid? (Note: The atomic masses, in daltons, are approximately 12 for carbon, 1 for hydrogen, and 16 for oxygen.)

To find the grams of acetic acid needed, first calculate the molar mass of acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂): (2*12) + (4*1) + (2*16) = 24 + 4 + 32 = 60 g/mol. For a 0.1 M solution in 10 L, you need 0.1 moles/L * 10 L = 1 mole. Therefore, you need 1 mole * 60 g/mol = 60 g of acetic acid.
