Question

The approximate minimum daily dietary requirement of the amino acid leucine, C6H13NO2 is 1.1 g. What is this

requirement in malls moles?

Answer 1

0.0084 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,

Hence ,

n = w / m

n = moles ,

w = given mass ,

m = molecular mass .

from the question ,

The w = 1.1 g

we know ,

molecular mass of leucine = 131 g/mol .

using , the above formula to calculate the moles ,

n = w / m = 1.1 g / 131 g/mol = 0.0084 mol
