Answer

.035 mol

Work Step by Step

We compute the molar mass using the number of each type of atom present and the molar mass of each element present: 8(12.01 g/mol) + 9(1.01 g/mol) + 2(16.01 g/mol) + 1(14.01g/mol) This gives: 151.16 g/mol We now find the number of moles present in the sample: $$\frac{5.32g}{1} \frac{mol}{151.16 g} = .035\ mol$$
