Question

A solution contains 5 grams of glucose per 100 milliliters. Each mole of glucose weighs 180 grams. How many miles are there in 200 milliliters of the glucose solution?
please help me will greatly appreciate it:)
btw this is conversion problem

Answer 1

Answer:

              Mole  =  0.055 mol

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate Mass of Glucose in 200 mL solution:

As,

                     100 mL Solution contains  =  5 g of Glucose

So,

                  200 mL Solution will contain  =  X g of Glucose

Solving for X,

                        X  =  (200 mL × 5 g) ÷ 100 mL

                        X =  10 g of Glucose

Step 2: Calculate Moles for 10 g of Glucose:

As,

                                            Mole  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

M.Mass of Glucose  =  180 g.mol⁻¹

So,

                                            Mole  =  10 g ÷ 180 g.mol⁻¹

                                            Mole =  0.055 mol
