The amount of sugar () required to prepare 2 L of its 0.1 M aqueous solution is
- A.17.1 g
- B.68.4 g
- C.136.8 g
- D.34.2 g
Show answer and solution
Correct option: B
Solution
Moles needed = Molarity × Volume = 0.1 mol/L × 2 L = 0.2 mol. Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16) = 144 + 22 + 176 = 342 g/mol. Mass = 0.2 × 342 = 68.4 g.
