How many millimoles of glucose are in 500 ml of a 1 M solution?
I got 0.0005 millimoles, is this correct?
half a mole in half a liter
0.5 mol * 1000 millimols/mol= 500millimols
I think a millimol is a thousandth of a mol

To determine the number of millimoles of glucose in 500 ml of a 1 M solution, you need to use the formula:
Millimoles = Moles x 1000
First, we need to find the number of moles of glucose in 500 ml of the solution. The molarity (M) is given as 1 M, which means there is 1 mole of glucose in 1 liter of the solution.
However, the given volume is in milliliters, so we need to convert 500 ml to liters:
500 ml ÷ 1000 = 0.5 liters
Now, we can calculate the moles of glucose:
1 M x 0.5 liters = 0.5 moles
Finally, we convert the moles to millimoles:
0.5 moles x 1000 = 500 millimoles
So, the correct answer is 500 millimoles of glucose, not 0.0005 millimoles.
