Do the CHEMLAB at the end of this chapter to learn about an experimental<br />

technique for determining solution concentration.<br />

Calculating Molarity<br />

PROBLEM 15-3<br />

A 100.5-mL intravenous (IV) solution contains 5.10 g of glucose<br />

(C 6 H 12 0 6 ). What is the molarity of this solution The molar mass of<br />

glucose is 180.16 g/mol.<br />

II Analyze the Problem<br />

You are given the mass of glucose dissolved in a volume of solution.<br />

The molarity of the solution is the ratio of moles of solute<br />

per liter of solution. Glucose is the solute and water is the solvent.<br />

Known<br />

II Solve for the Unknown<br />

Unknown<br />

mass of solute = 5.10 g C 6 H120 6 solution concentration = M<br />

molar mass of C6H12 0 6 = 180.16 g/mol<br />

volume of solution = 100.5 mL<br />

Use the molar mass to calculate the number of moles of C 6 H 12 0 6 .<br />

Substitute the known values into the equation for molarity and solve.<br />

To prevent dehydration, intravenous<br />

(IV) drips are administered<br />

to many hospital patients. A<br />

solution containing sodium chloride<br />

and glucose is commonly<br />

used.<br />

EI Evaluate the Answer<br />

The molarity is asmall value, which is expected because only asmall<br />

mass of glucose was dissolved in the solution. The mass of glucose<br />

used in the problem contained three significant figures, and therefore,<br />

the value of the molarity also has three significant figures.<br />

PROBLEMS<br />

14. What is the molarity of an aqueous solution containing 40.0 g of<br />

glucose (C 6 H 12 0 6 ) in 1.5 L of solution<br />

15. What is the molarity of a bleach solution containing 9.5 g of NaOCI<br />

per liter of bleach<br />

16. Calculate the molarity of 1.60 L of a solution containing 1.55 g of<br />

dissolved KBr.<br />
