How many grams of glucose should we dissolve in one liter of water to get one molar solution (1M).
This is the exact question given to me by my cell bio teacher. anything will help. MW of glucose is 180 grams.
To calculate the number of grams of glucose needed to prepare a 1M solution, you need to know the molecular weight of glucose and the desired volume of the solution.
Given that the molecular weight (MW) of glucose is 180 grams and the desired volume is 1 liter, you can use the following formula to calculate the number of grams of glucose needed:
Mass of glucose (in grams) = Molarity (in moles/liter) * Molecular weight (in grams/mole) * Volume (in liters)
In this case, the desired molarity is 1M, and the volume is 1 liter. Therefore, the calculation becomes:
Mass of glucose = 1M * 180 g/mol * 1 L = 180 grams.
So, you would dissolve 180 grams of glucose in one liter of water to obtain a 1M glucose solution.
