Question

What volume of a 5.0% glucose solution can be prepared using 125g of glucose?

a) 2500 mL
b) 1250 mL
c) 5000 mL
d) 250 mL

Answer 1

To prepare a 5.0% glucose solution with 125g of glucose, you would need a volume of 2500 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the volume of a 5.0% glucose solution that can be prepared using 125g of glucose, we need to use the formula:

Volume (in mL) = (Mass of solute / Percent concentration) x 100

Plugging in the values, we get:

Volume (in mL) = (125g / 5.0%) x 100 = 2500 mL

Therefore, the correct answer is 2500 mL (option a).
