Question

One mole of aspartame (C14H18N2O5) reacts with two moles of water to produce one mole of aspartic acid (C4H7NO4), one mole of methanol (CH3OH), and one mole of phenylalanine.
What is the molecular formula of phenylalanine?

Answer 1

Answer:

hey this is a 153 312 535 and only a structure by send the messages of One mole of aspartame (C14H18N2O5) reacts with two moles of water to produce one mole of aspartic acid (C4H7NO4), one mole of methanol (CH3OH), and one mole of phenylalanine.

What is the molecular formula of phenylalanine?

Answer 2

Answer:

C9H11NO2

Explanation:

(C14H18N2O5) + 2(H2O) ------> (C4H7NO4) + (CH3OH) + (phenylalanine)

Here,

   ELEMENT       -        REACTANT SIDE           -            PRODUCT SIDE

          C              -                      14                      -                        5

          H.             -                 18+4=22.               -                     7+4=11

          N.             -                       2.                     -                         1

          O.             -                  5+2=7.                  -                        5

By Law of conservation of mass,

Remaining C = 9

Remaining H = 11

Remaining N = 1

Remaining O = 2

Therefore, the molecular formula of phenylalanine is C9H11NO2
