Answer:18 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The molar mass of dextrose is obtained as shown. Then the formula for number of moles is applied as shown in the image. Number of moles= mass/molar mass= concentration × volume. The volume is measured in dm3 hence the denominator of 1000. By making mass of solute the subject of the formula, we obtain the mass of dextrose requited to prepare the desired concentration of solution in the desired volume.
