Solution

Verified by Toppr
15% glucose C6H12O6 in H2O
15g of glucose in 85g of H2O
Solute⟶glucose⟶15g
Solvent⟶H2O⟶85g
No. of moles of solute=MolarMassGivenMass
Molar Mass of C6H12O6= 6x12+12x1+6x16
= 72+12+96=180
n=18015=0.0833Density⟶1.5g/mL1.5g⟶1mL1g⟶1.51mL100g⟶1.51×100mL1.5100mLofsolution1.5100×
(dextrose = C6H12O6)
mass by % =5
5 grams of C6 H 12 O6 in 100 grams solution
moles of C 6 H12O6 = 5÷180
=0.027778
Volume = mass/ density = 100/1.08
=92.5925 g ml
Molarity = moles of C6H12O6 ÷ volume of solution
=0.027778÷ 92.5925 gm
=0.3 M
Ans :- the molarity is 0.3M
