Answer: 11.5 L
Step-by-step explanation:
Sucrose is a dissacharide with a chemical formula C12H22O11. It is composed of glucose and fructose.
Given that:
volume of sucrose = ?
Concentration of sucrose = 0.4M
(Note that molarity is the same as concentration in moles per litres,
So, 0.4M = 0.4 mol/L)
Amount of moles of sucrose = 4.6 moles
Recall that the concentration of a solution depends on the amount of solute dissolved in a particular volume of solvent.
I.e Concentration in mol/L =
Amount in moles / Volume in liters
0.4M = 4.6 moles / Volume
Volume = 4.6 moles / 0.4 mol/L
Volume = 11.5 L
Thus, 11.5 liters of 0.4M solution can be prepared with 4.6 moles of sucrose.
