4 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.
a. What is the molecular formula of phenylalanine? Hint
C 14 H 18 N 2 O5 +2 H 2 O→ C 4 H 7 N O4 +C H 3 OH +C 9 H 11 N O2

b. What mass of phenylalanine is produced from 378 g of aspartame?

1 mol C 14 H 18 N 2 O 5 1 mol C 9 H 11 N O 2 165.1892 g C 9 H 11 N O 2

378 g C14 H 18 N 2 O 5 ( 294.3032 g C 14 H 18 N 2 O 5 )( 1 mol C 14 H 18 N 2 O 5 )( 1 mol C 9 H 11 N O 2 ) =212 gC 9 H 1

9.5 KO2 is used in a closed-system breathing apparatus. It removes carbon dioxide

and water from exhaled air. The reaction for the removal of water is:
KO2 + H2O → O2 + KOH.
The KOH produced is used to remove carbon dioxide by the following reaction:
KOH + CO2 → KHCO3-
a. What mass of KO2 produces 235 g of O2?
4 K O 2 +2 H 2 O →3 O 2 +4 KOH

1 mol O 2 4 mol K O 2 71.0971 g K O 2

235 g O 2 ( 31.9989 g O 2 )( 3 mol O 2 )( 1 mol K O 2 )
=696 .18 g K O 2

b. What mass of CO2 can be removed by 123 g of KO2?

4 K O2 +2 H 2 O →3 O2 +4 KOH

KOH +C O 2 → KHC O 3−¿¿

1 mol K O 2 4 mol KOH 1 mol C O 2 44.0095 g C O 2

123 g K O 2 ( 71.097 g K O 2 )( 4 mol K O 2 )( 1 mol KOH )( 1mol C O 2 )
=76.1 g C O 2
