How many glucose molecules are contained in 1 liter of a 10 M solution of glucose in water?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the number of glucose molecules, we need to use Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10^23) and the formula:

Number of molecules = concentration (in mol/L) x volume (in L) x Avogadro's number

First, we need to convert 10 M to mol/L:

10 M = 10 mol/L

Then, we can plug in the values:

Number of molecules = 10 mol/L x 1 L x 6.02 × 10^23 = 6.02 × 10^24

Therefore, there are 6.02 × 10^24 glucose molecules in 1 liter of a 10 M solution of glucose in water. The closest answer choice is C (6.02 × 10^24).
