How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 144.3 mL of a 1.4%(m/v) glucose solution?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

2.0202 grams

Explanation:

1.4% (m/v) glucose solution means: 1.4g glucose/100mL solution.

so ?g glucose = 144.3 mL soln

Now apply the conversion factor, and you have:

?g glucose = 144.3mL soln x (1.4g glucose/100mL soln).

so you have (144.3x1.4/100) g glucose= 2.0202 grams
