Answer:

C. 9.97×10⁻²³

Explanation:

The molar mass is defined as the mass in grams of 1 mole of the molecule.

The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.052 g/mol.

Which means that:

1 mole = 6.023×10²³ molecules.

So,

6.023×10²³ molecules of acetic acid weighs 60.052 g.

Thus,

1 molecule of acetic acid weighs 60.052/6.023×10²³ g.

The mass of 1 molecule of acetic acid = 9.97×10⁻²³ g.
