Question

How many moles of aspartame are present in 1.00 mg of aspartame?

Answer 1

Answer:- There are $3.40*10^-^6$ moles.

Solution:- It is a unit conversion problem where we are asked to convert mg of aspartame to moles. Aspartame is $C_1_4H_1_8N_2O_5$ and it's molar mass is 294.31 grams per mole.

mg are converted to grams and then the grams are converted to moles as:

$1.00mg Aspartame(\frac{1g}{1000mg})(\frac{1mole}{294.31g})$

= $3.40*10^-^6$ moles of aspartame

So, there would be $3.40*10^-^6$ moles of aspartame in 1.00 mg of it.
