Answer:
8.11g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Molarity of aqueous solution = 0.3M
total volume = 0.15L
Molecular weight of glucose = 180.6g/mol
Unknown:
Mass of glucose needed in the solution = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to understand molarity.
Molarity is the number of moles of solute in a given volume of solution. In this problem, the solute here is the glucose and the solvent is water.
Molarity =
A solution is made up of solute and solvent.
now, let us solve for the number of moles of the solute which is glucose;
Number of moles of glucose = molarity x volume of solution;
= 0.3 x 0.15
= 0.045mole
Now to find the mass of glucose;
mass of glucose = number of moles x molar mass
input the parameters;
Mass of glucose = 0.045 x 180.16 = 8.11g
