**Question:**

What is the % (w/v) of a 0.500 M glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) solution? The molar mass (MM) of glucose is 180 g/mol.

**Options:**

- ○ 18.0%
- ○ 1.80%
- ○ 9.00%
- ○ 90.0%

**Explanation:**

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the mass of glucose in grams in one liter of the solution:
   
   \[
   \text{Mass} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Molar Mass} \times \text{Volume}
   \]
   
   Given: Molarity (M) = 0.500 M and Molar Mass (MM) of glucose = 180 g/mol
   
   For 1 liter of solution (Volume = 1 L):
   
   \[
   \text{Mass} = 0.500 \, \text{M} \times 180 \, \text{g/mol} \times 1 \, \text{L} = 90 \, \text{g}
   \]
   
2. The % (w/v) concentration is defined as grams of solute (glucose) per 100 mL of solution.

   \[
   \%\ (w/v) = \left( \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in mL}} \right) \times 100
   \]
   
   \[
   \%\ (w/v) = \left( \frac{90 \, \text{g}}{1000 \, \text{mL}} \right) \times 100
   \]
   
   \[
   \%\ (w/v) = 9\%
   \]

Thus, the correct answer is:

- ○ 9.00%
