Question

How many grams of glucose would you need to make 500ml of a 16% solution?

Answer 1

80 g of Glucose

Explanation:

If we consider that the solution is mainly water and that the density of water is `1g/(mL)`, we can say that:

`Mass_(solution)=500 cancel(mL)xx1g/(cancel(mL))=500g`

`%mass_("glucose")=(Mass_("glucose"))/(500)xx100%=16%`

`Mass_("glucose")=80g`
