Chapter 11, Problem 130QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar concentration of glucose in $\text{D5W}$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Molarity is the most used concentration unit for expressing the strength of a solution in laboratory experiment.

The molarity (M) is calculated by taking the ratio of moles of solute (n) to the volume of solution (V) in litres. Mathematically, it is expressed as follows:

$M=\frac{n}{\text{V}\left(\text{L}\right)}$ …… (1)

The unit of molarity is expressed as ${\text{mol L}}^{-1}\text{or }M$ .
