What is the molarity of a sucrose solution containing 34.2 grams of sucrose in 500.0 mL of water? The molar mass of sucrose, C12H22O11 , is 342.0 grams per mole.

Answer :

0.2 M is the molarity of a sucrose solution containing 34.2 grams of sucrose in 500.0 ml of water.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of sucrose = 34.2 grams

volume of water = 500 ml or 0.5 Litres

molar mass of sucrose = 342 grams/mole

molarity = ?

To calculate molarity first we will calculate number of moles provides,

number of moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{ato,ic mass of 1 mole}[/tex]

putting the values in the equation:

number of moles = [tex]\frac{34.2}{342}[/tex]

number of moles = 0.1 mole

now the molarity will be calculated by applying the following formula:

molarity = [tex]\frac{number of moles}{volume in litres}[/tex]

putting the values in the equation:0.2 m

molarity = [tex]\frac{0.1 }{0.5}[/tex]

molarity = 0.2 M

thus the molarity of sucrose solution of 500 ml is 0.2 M

The molarity of a sucrose solution containing 34.2 grams of sucrose in 500.0 mL of water "0.2 M".

Molarity of solution

According to the question,

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.0 g/mole

Volume of water = 500 ml or,

                            = 0.5 liters

Mass of sucrose = 34.2 grams

Now,

The number of moles will be:

= [tex]\frac{Mass}{Atomic \ mass \ of \ 1 \ mole}[/tex]

By substituting the values,

= [tex]\frac{34.2}{342}[/tex]

= 0.1 mole

hence, The molarity will be:

= [tex]\frac{No. \ of \ moles}{Volume}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{0.1}{0.5}[/tex]

= 0.2 M

Thus the response above is appropriate.
