Lavoisier is known as the “Father of Modern Chemistry” or the “Father of Chemistry”.
He is famous for isolating oxygen and establishing the law of conservation of mass.
Answer:
- Alanine = 5.61 mmoles
- Leucine = 3.81 mmoles
- Tryptophan = 2.45 mmoles
- Cysteine = 4.13 mmoles
- Glutamic acid = 3.40 mmoles
Explanation:
Mass / Molar mass = Moles
Milimoles = Mol . 1000
500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 g
- Alanine = 0.5 g / 89 g/m → 5.61x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 5.61mmoles
- Leucine = 0.5 g / 131 g/m → 3.81 x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 3.81 mmoles
- Tryptophan = 0.5 g / 204 g/m → 2.45x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 2.45 mmoles
- Cysteine = 0.5 g / 121 g/m → 4.13x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 4.13 mmoles
- Glutamic acid = 0.5 g 147 g/m → 3.40x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 3.4 mmoles
Explanation:
For the first part,
Reaction equation:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
Given:
Number of moles of NH₃ = 6 moles
Unknown:
Number of moles of N₂ = ?
Solution:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃;
From the reaction above, we solve from the known specie to the unknown. Ensure that the equation is balanced;
2 moles of NH₃ is produced from 1 mole of N₂
6 moles of NH₃ will be produced from
mole of N₂
= 3moles of N₂
The number of moles of N₂ is 3 moles
ii.
Given parameters:
Number of moles of sulfur = 2.4moles
Molar mass of sulfur = 32.07g/mol
Unknown:
Mass of sulfur = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of any substance can be found using the expression below;
Number of moles = 
Mass of sulfur = number of moles of sulfur x molar mass
Insert the parameters and solve;
Mass of sulfur = 2.4 x 32.07 = 76.97g
