Lesson: Chapter 3 — Mixtures

Concentration 4 of 5

Question 4

What mass of glucose is needed to prepare 500 cm³ of a 1 mol dm⁻³ glucose solution? (C = 12, H = 1, O = 16)

The right answer is the one marked above.

90 g. The molar mass of glucose is 180 g mol⁻¹, so 1000 cm³ would need 180 g and 500 cm³ needs half of that.

Half the volume at the same concentration needs half the mass — you can see that without the arithmetic, and it is a good check that the arithmetic agrees. 180 g is the answer for a full cubic decimetre.

Answer the question to continue.
