Question

If you were presented with 2l of a 2m sucrose stock solution, how many grams of sugar would be in a 100 ml aliquot?

Answer 1

The 2 L of sucrose stock solution would contain similar concentration with the 100 mL aliquot. Therefore the concentration of aliquot is still 2 M.

The molar mass of sucrose is 342.3 g / mol. Therefore the mass in a 100 mL (0.1 L) aliquot is:

mass = (2 mol / L) * 0.1 L * (342.3 g / mol)

mass = 68.46 g
