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 />

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 />
