Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is 160 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) when dissolved in water. It is marketed by G.D. Searle as Nutra Sweet. The molecular formula of aspartame is C14H18N2O5.

How many moles are in 10 g of aspartame? Round your answer to the correct number of significant figures and units

Respuesta :

This problem is providing the mass of aspartame as 10 g and asks for the moles in such amount. At the end, after applying a mole-mass proportional factor, the answer turns out to be 0.03 mol.

Mole-mass relationships

In chemistry, mole-mass relationships are mathematical procedures we use in order to calculate grams from moles or vice versa, according to a given requirement.

In such a way, when given 10 g of aspartame and required to calculate moles, we first need to calculate its molar mass as follows:

[tex]MM=14*12.01+18*1.01+2*14.01+5*16.0\\\\MM=294.29g/mol[/tex]

Then, we apply the following proportional factor cancelling out the grams and leading to moles:

[tex]10g*\frac{1mol}{294.29g} =0.03mol[/tex]

Which has one significant figure as well as the initial 10 g.
