Molar Mass of Compounds

Mass of compounds in g/mol = the sum of all of its atomic masses

CaCl2

(1 mole Ca x 40.1 g/mol) + (2 moles Cl x 35.5 g/mol)

1 mole of CaCl2 = 111.1 g/mol

N2O4 (2 moles N x 14.0 g/mole) + (4 moles O x 16.0 g/mole)

1 mole of N2O4 = 92.0 g/mole

The artificial sweetener aspartame (Nutri-Sweet) formula

C14H18N2O5 is used to sweeten diet

foods, coffee and soft drinks. How many moles of aspartame are

present in 225 g of aspartame?

Solution1. Molar mass of Aspartame C14H18N2O5

(14 x 12.0) + (18 x 1.01) + (2 x 14.0) + (5 x 16.0)

= 294 g/mole

2. Setup 225 g aspartame 1 mole aspartame

294 g aspartame

Answer = 0.765 moles of

aspartame
