Answer:
b. The bromine (Br2) has reacted with the benzene, leaving fewer bromine molecules in solution.
Explanation:
Colour is caused by absorption of light of the frequency of “complementary colours”. Exactly which frequencies molecules absorb depends on the arrangement of electrons. Obviously, to break the Br-Br bond and the C=C bond in the reactants and replace them with two C-H bonds is a significant reordering of electrons and so the new molecule is no longer able to absorb the same frequencies as previously. Hence, a colour change, in this case from orange to colourless.
Answer:
- <u><em>294.307 g/mol</em></u>
Explanation:
The first question for this statment is:
- <em>Calculate the gram-formula-mass of aspartame. </em>
<em />
<h2>Solution</h2>
The chemical formula is:

The <em>gram-formula-mass </em>is calculated adding the masses for all the atoms in the molecular formula:
Atom Number of atoms Atomic mass Total mass
g/mol g/mol
C 14 12.011 14 × 12.011 = 164.154
H 18 1.008 18 × 1.008 = 18.144
N 2 14.007 2 × 14.007 = 28.014
O 5 15.999 5 × 15.999 = 79.995
===================
Total 294.307 g/mol
Answer: 294.307 g/mol
