Question

what volume of a 6.0% W/V glucose (C6H6O6) solution can be prepared using 185g of glucose?

Answer 1

Volume of solution : = 3083.3 ml = 3.0833 L

Further explanation

Given

a 6.0% w/v

185 g of glucose

Required

Volume of solution

Solution

% w/v : the mass of solute in a volume of solution or 1 g solute in 100 ml of solution

Can be formulated :

% w/v = (mass solute(g) : volume solution(ml)) x 100

Mass of solute = mass of glucose = 185 g

The volume of solution :

= 185 g : 0.06

= 3083.3 ml

= 3.0833 L
