Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Given:

Number of moles, n = 0.5 mole

Mass of acid, m = 44 g

Molar mass of acid, M = ?

Recall that Number of moles, n = \(\frac{mass}{Molecular mass}\)

                                                n = \(\frac{m}{M}\)

                                                M = \(\frac{m}{n}\)

                                                M = \(\frac{44}{0.5}\)

                                                M = 88

:. The molecular mass of the alkanoic acid is 88 - option B

There is an explanation video available below.
