Question
Chapter U4.79, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The evidence that shows aspartame is sweeter than fructose must be explained.
Concept introduction:
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener. It is the methyl ester of a dipeptide made of aspartic acid and phenyl alanine. Fructose is a monosaccharide which is a ketohexose (6 carbons with one keto group).
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
There is a unit to measure the sweetness of artificial sweeteners. Generally, the sweetness is compared with natural sugar sucrose.
Sucrose is a disaccharide containing glucose and fructose. When sucrose is hydrolyzed, it produces 1 mol glucose and 1 mol fructose. None of glucose and fructose is sweeter than sucrose. Aspartame is almost 200 times sweeter than sucrose. Thus, aspartame is much sweeter than fructose.

- An essential part of the experimental design process is to select appropriate dependent and independent variables. True Falsearrow_forward10.00 g of Compound X with molecular formula C₂Hg are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 40.00 kg of water at 25 °C. The temperature of the water is observed to rise by 2.604 °C. (You may assume all the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and none by the calorimeter itself.) Calculate the standard heat of formation of Compound X at 25 °C. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardneed help not sure what am doing wrong step by step please answer is 971A During the lecture, we calculated the Debye length at physiological salt concentrations and temperature, i.e. at an ionic strength of 150 mM (i.e. 0.150 mol/l) and a temperature of T=310 K. We predicted that electrostatic interactions are effectively screened beyond distances of 8.1 Å in solutions with a physiological salt concentration. What is the Debye length in a sample of distilled water with an ionic strength of 10.0 µM (i.e. 1.00 * 10-5 mol/l)?
