100 mg/dL is a typical blood concentration of glucose.The molecular weight of glucose is approximately 180 daltons.What is the molarity of this solution in millimoles?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the molarity in millimoles, convert mg/dL to g/L (100 mg/dL = 1 g/L), then divide by the molecular weight (180 g/mol) to get molarity in moles/L, and finally multiply by 1000 to convert to millimoles/L: (1 g/L) / (180 g/mol) * 1000 = 5.6 mmol/L.
