Question

The molecular formula of aspartame is C14H18N2O5. How many moles of aspartame are present in 1. 00 mg of aspartame?

Answer 1

3.4 * 10⁻⁶ moles

Step-by-step explanation:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

Mass of aspartame = 1 mg = 0.001 g

Molar mass of Aspartame = 294.3 g/mol

Thus;

number of moles = 0.001/294.3

number of moles = 3.4 * 10⁻⁶ moles
