Answer : 56 grams of glucose is dissolved in 1944 grams of solution.

Solution :

Conversion factor required for 2.88% glucose solution.

2.88% glucose solution means that 2.88 grams of glucose is present in 100 gram of solution.

We are given 1944 grams of solution. So, 2.88% of glucose in this much amount of solution will be:

$\frac{2.88}{100}\times 1944=55.98g\approx 56g$

Hence, 56 grams of glucose is dissolved in 1944 grams of solution.
