How many grams of glucose would you have to weigh out to make 500mls of a 0.5 m solution of glucose?

Given the concentration of glucose solution = 0.50 M

That means 1 L solution has 0.50 mol glucose dissolved.

The given volume of the solution = 500 mL

Converting the volume from mL to L:

Calculating the moles of glucose in 0.500 L solution:

Converting the moles of glucose to mass using the molar mass of glucose (180g/mol):

Therefore, 45 g glucose is to be dissolved in 500 mL to prepare a 0.5 M solution.
