What is the monoisotopic and average mass of valine? Given data: Mass of the most abundant isotope of Carbon (C°)=12.0000, Mass of most abundant isotope of Hydrogen (H°)=1.0078, Mass of most abundant isotope of Oxygen (O°)=15.9949, Mass of most abundant isotope of Nitrogen (N°)=14.0031, The average mass of Carbon (C)=12.011, The average mass of Hydrogen (H)=1.008, The average mass of Oxygen (O)=15.999, The average mass of Nitrogen (N)=14.007.

Correct Answer: 99.068 and 99.132
The monoisotopic and average masses of valine are 99.068 and 99.132 respectively. The chemical formula of valine is C5H9ON Formula: Monoisotopic mass= Hence, the monoisotopic mass of valine=5 x (12.000) + 7 x (1.0078) + (15.9949) + (14.0031) monoisotopic mass of valine = 99.068 The chemical formula of valine is C5H9ON Formula: Average mass= Hence, the Average mass of valine=5 x (12.011) + 9 x (1.008) + (15.999) + (14.007) The average mass of valine = 99.132.
