I've been seeing this question around for a bit and finally thought Id answer it. I hope it's ok somebody needs to verify the working.

Equation: C6H4 (CO2H) (OH) + (CH3CO) 2O = C6H4 (CO2) (CO2CH3)

262 mol 1=kg

g=1000

from stoichoimetry

x=102*1000/360

x=102000/360

x=283.33

density = m/v

=283.33/1.082

=262mol
