Answer 1

One mole of glucose contains `"6.022 x 10"^(23)"` molecules. One mole equals 1000 mmol. In order to calculate the number of glucose molecules in 100 mmol, you must first convert mmol to moles by dividing the given mmol by 1000mmol/mol, and then multiply the number of moles times `"6.022 x 10"^(23) "molecules/mol"`. This will cancel the mmol and mol, leaving molecules.

`"100 mmol glucose"` x `"1 mol"/"1000 mmol"` x `"6.022 x 10"^(23) "molecules"/"1 mol"` =

`"6.022 x 10"^22 "molecules glucose"`

`"There are 6.022 x 10"^22 "molecules of glucose in 100 mmol of glucose"`.
