The molar mass of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)is 180 g/mol.Which of the following procedures should you carry out to make a 0.5 M solution of glucose?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To make a 0.5 M solution of glucose, we need to dissolve 0.5 moles of glucose in 1 liter of solution. The molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol, so 0.5 moles of glucose would weigh:

0.5 mol x 180 g/mol = 90 g

Therefore, we need to dissolve 90 g of glucose in a small volume of water, and then add more water until the total volume of the solution is 1 L. Choice B correctly states this procedure.

The Molar Mass of Glucose (C6H12O6)is 180 G/mol

The Molar Mass of Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)is 180 G/mol
