Question

How many moles of solute particles are in 1L of 0.50M glucose? Type the number?

Answer 1

0.5 moles glucose

Explanation:

Molarity stands for mols of solute over a liter of solution, and the question I believe gives you the answer. Therefore by the definition of molarity, there is 0.5 mols of glucose in each liter of solution.

Answer 2

I would say `0.5 \ "mol"` of glucose.

Explanation:

Molarity is expressed by the equation

`"molarity"="moles of solute"/"liters of solution"`

A common way to measure molarity is by the letter `"M"`.

Know that `1 \ "M" = 1 \ "mol/L"`

Here, we have a `1 \ "L"` solution of `0.50 \ "M"` glucose, so that that means, that there are a total of

`1 \ cancel"L"*0.50 \ "mol""/"cancel"L"=0.50 \ "mol"` of glucose

We can now simplify `0.50 \ "mol" = 0.5 \ "mol"`

So, there exists `0.5` moles of glucose molecules in the solution.
