Chapter 2, Problem 45AP

Aspartame (molecularformula ${\text{C}}_{\text{14}}{\text{H}}_{\text{18}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}$ ) is a sugar substitutein soft drinks. Under certain conditions, 1 mol ofaspartame reacts with 2 mol of water to give 1 mol of asparticacid (molecularformula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{7}}{\text{NO}}_{\text{4}}$ ), 1 mol of methanol(molecularformula ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}$ ), and 1 mol of phenylalanine.Determine the molecularformula of phenylalanine.
