Question

Calculate the moles of lysine (C6H14N2O2) in a 62.96 g sample of lysine.

Answer 1

Number of moles = 0.43 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles lysine = ?

Mass of lysine = 62.96 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of lysine = 146.19 g/mol

Number of moles = 62.96 g / 146.19 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.43 mol
