A student is making a solution of sugar in water, what is the molarity of the student's sugar solution?

Question

A student is making a solution of sugar in water. If the student uses 0.62 moles of sugar and enough water to make 530.54 milliliters of solution, what is the molarity of the student's sugar solution? Round your answer to the nearest 0.01 and include units properly abbreviated, but NOT substance!

Answer 1

The definition of molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution.

So, first we will find the moles of solute. Then we will find the liters of solution. Then we will divide to get the answer.

moles of solute = 0.62 moles

liters of solution = 530.54 mls x 1 L / 1000 mls = 0.53054 L

Molarity = 0.62 moles / 0.53054 L = 1.17 M
