An aqueous solution of glucose is marked as 10% w/w. The density of the solution is 1.2 g/mL1.2 \text{ g/mL}. The molarity of the solution is approximately:

  1. A.0.55 M
  2. B.0.67 MCorrect answer
  3. C.0.45 M
  4. D.0.78 M

Solution

10% w/w glucose solution means 10 g10 \text{ g} of glucose is present in 100 g100 \text{ g} of solution. Volume of solution = Mass/Density=100/1.2=83.33 mL=0.0833 L\text{Mass} / \text{Density} = 100 / 1.2 = 83.33 \text{ mL} = 0.0833 \text{ L}. Moles of glucose = 10/180=0.0556 mol10 / 180 = 0.0556 \text{ mol}. Molarity = 0.0556/0.0833=0.667 M0.0556 / 0.0833 = 0.667 \text{ M}.
