Transcript text: What is the molarity of 2.0 moles of glucose in 4.0 L solution?
A. 0.25 M glucose
B. 0.50 M glucose
C. 0.75 M glucose
D. 1.00 M glucose
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Definition of Molarity
Molarity (\(M\)) is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. The formula for molarity is:
\[
M = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{liters of solution}}
\]
Step 2: Identify Given Values
From the problem, we are given:
Moles of glucose = 2.0 moles
Volume of solution = 4.0 liters
Step 3: Calculate the Molarity
Using the formula for molarity:
\[
M = \frac{2.0 \, \text{moles}}{4.0 \, \text{liters}} = 0.50 \, \text{M}
\]
Final Answer
The molarity of the glucose solution is \(\boxed{0.50 \, \text{M glucose}}\).
