To make a 0.5 M solution of glucose, you need 0.5 moles of glucose per liter of solution. Since the molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol, 0.5 moles of glucose weigh 90 g (0.5 moles * 180 g/mol = 90 g). Therefore, dissolving 90 g of glucose and diluting to a total volume of 1 L will give a 0.5 M solution.
