Use the pop-up menus to label the following statements as either True or False. Only the methyl ester of aspartame is sweet. False Amide bonds can be hydrolyzed under only acidic conditions. False The zwitterionic form of the amide bond is the most favored resonance form. True The phosphoric acid in soda hydrolyses the aspartame ester making it sweet. True

The first two statements are false whereas the last two statements are true

Explanation:

1)It is not nly the methyl ester of aspartame that is responsible for it's sweetness 2)Amide bonds can be hydrolyzed both under basic and acidic conditions.

3) The zwitterionic form of the amide bond is the most favored resonance form

4) The phosphoric acid in soda hydrolyses the aspartame ester making it sweet. True

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.
