A. The molecular formula of phenylalanine is C₉H₁₁NO₂

B. The mass of phenylalanine, C₉H₁₁NO₂ produced from 378 g of aspartame is 212.14 g

A. Determination of the molecular formula of phenylalanine.

To obtain the molecular formula of phenylalanine, we shall write the balanced equation. This is given below

C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ + 2H₂O → C₄H₇NO₄ + CH₃OH + C₉H₁₁NO₂

Thus, the molecular formula of phenylalanine is C₉H₁₁NO₂

B. Determination of the mass of phenylalanine, C₉H₁₁NO₂ produced from 378 g of aspartame

C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ + 2H₂O → C₄H₇NO₄ + CH₃OH + C₉H₁₁NO₂

Molar mass of C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ = (14×12) + (18×1) + (14×2) + (16×5) = 294 g/mol

Mass of C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ from the balanced equation = 1 × 294 = 294 g

Molar mass of C₉H₁₁NO₂ = (9×12) + (11×1) + 14 + (16×2) = 165 g/mol

Mass of C₉H₁₁NO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 165 = 165 g

From the balanced equation above,

294 g of C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ reacted to produce 165 g of C₉H₁₁NO₂

Therefore,

378 g of C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ will react to produce = (378 × 165) / 294 = 212.14 g of C₉H₁₁NO₂

Thus, 212.14 g of C₉H₁₁NO₂ were obtained from the reaction.

a. Molecular formula of phenylalanine → C₉H₁₁NO₂

b. 234.2 g of C₉H₁₁NO₂

Explanation:

Let's think the reaction:

C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅ + 2H₂O → CH₃OH + ‎C₉H₁₁NO₂ + C₄H₇NO₄

In order to work with this reaction, we assume that water is on excess.

Let's determine the moles of aspartame → molar mass = 294 g/mol

Moles = mass / molar mass → 378 g / 294 g/mol = 1.28 moles

As ratio is 1:1, 1 mol of aspartame can produce 1 mol of phenylalanine; therefore 1.28 moles of aspartame must produce 1.28 moles of phenylalanine.

Let's convert the moles to mass → molar mass C₉H₁₁NO₂ = 183 g/mol

Moles . molar mass = Mass → 1.28 mol . 183 g/mol = 234.2 g
