Solution contains 85.5g of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 250 cm3. What is its molarity?

Correct answer: A. 1 M

  • A. 1 M
  • B. 0.5 M
  • C. 0.25 M
  • D. 2 M

Explanation

Molarity is moles of a substance divided by the volume in liters or cubic decimeters. For moles, divide the given mass with the molar mass of sucrose, which is (12x12+22+11x16) 342 grams per mol. Number of moles is 85.5/342 which comes out to 0.25 mol. To convert 250 cubic cm to liters, divide by 1000, so this comes out to 0.25 liters.Molarity = 0.25/0.25 = 1M so, answer is A.
