A4) The element europium exists in nature in two isotopes. 151Eu has a mass of 150.9196 amu and 153Eu has a
mass of 152.9209 amu. The average atomic mass of europium is 151.96 amu. Calculate the relative abundance of
the two europium isotopes.
B12) Aspartame, C14H18N2O5, is an artificial sweetener that is 160 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) when
dissolved in water.
a) Calculate the molar mass of aspartame.
b) How many moles are present in 10.0 g of aspartame?
C5) Vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, is essential for human nutrition. Since vitamin B12 is in animal tissue, but not
in higher plants, vegetarians may become deficient in vitamin B12. Cyanocobalamin contains 4.34% cobalt by
mass. Calculate the molar mass of cyanocobalamin, if there is one cobalt atom in each molecule of
cyanocobalamin.
