39. The molecular formula of aspartame, the artificial sweetener marketed as NutraSweet, is C14H18N2O5.rna. What is the molar mass of aspartame?rnb. How many moles of aspartame are present in 3769.4 grams of aspartame?

Accepted Answer

a. To find the molar mass of aspartame, we need to add up the atomic masses of all the atoms in its molecular formula.

Carbon (C): 14 atoms
12.01 g/mol = 168.14 g/mol
Hydrogen (H): 18 atoms
1.01 g/mol = 18.18 g/mol
Nitrogen (N): 2 atoms
14.01 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol
Oxygen (O): 5 atoms
16.00 g/mol = 80.00 g/mol
Adding these together: 168.14 g/mol + 18.18 g/mol + 28.02 g/mol + 80.00 g/mol = 294.34 g/mol
b. To calculate the number of moles of aspartame in 3769.4 grams, we use the following formula:
moles = mass / molar mass
So, moles of aspartame = 3769.4 g / 294.34 g/mol = 12.82 mol
