If the concentration of glucose (C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)) in blood is0.9 g L^(-1) what will be the molarity of glucose in blood ?

Answer»

5 M
50 M
0.005 M
0.5 M

Solution :`0.9 G L^(-1)` means that 1000 mL (or 1 L) solutioncontains 0.9 g of glucose.
`:.` Number of moles `= 0.9g` glucose
`= (0.9)/(180)` mol glucose `= 5 xx 10^(-3)` mol glucose (molecular mass of glucose `(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)) = 12 xx 6 + 12 xx 1 + 6 xx 16=180 U`)
i.e., 1 L solution contains 0.05 mole glucose or the molarity of glucose is 0.005 M.
