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

requirement in malls moles?

0.0084 mol

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
