Question

There are on average 43 g of sugar and 355 mL can of soda please calculate the molarity of sugar in the can of soda the molar mass of sugar is 342.2 g/mol

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given :

Amount of solute - sucrose (C12H22O11) = 41 g

Amount of solvent -soda  = 355-mL

Molarity of the solution with respect to sucrose= ?

Molarity(M) is a unit of concentration measuring the number of moles of a solute per liter of solution. The SI unit of molarity is mol/L.

Formula to find the molarity of solution :

               Molarity =  

Amount of solvent is given in mL, let’s convert to L :

               1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore, 355 mL in L will be :

                   

               = 0.355 L

We have the amount of solute in g, let’s calculate the number of moles first :

       Number of moles (n) =  

Molar mass of C12H22O11 = 342.29 g/mol.

Therefore, n =  

               = 0.119 moles.
