First you need to know the molecular weight of sugar (C6H12O6) which is 180.156g/mol
You have half a mole so you have 90.078g
If you wanted to make 1L of a 1.2M solution of glucose you would need 180.156*1.2=216.1872g
But you only have 90.078g
So you need to figure out how much this 90.078g will make if the solution must be 1.2M:
90.078g/216.1872g=xL/1L
solve for the X and you get 0.416666666...
so 416.7ml or 0.417L
