The mass of glucose to be dissolved in \(50 \mathrm{~g}\) of water to get \(0.3\) molal solution is

  1. A \(27 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(0.27 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(2.7 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(5.4 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2.7 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecular mass of glucose \(=180 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\) Mass of water \(=50 \mathrm{~g}=0.05 \mathrm{~kg}\) Molality \((m)=\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molar mass } \times \text { mass of solvent }(\text { in kg) }}\) \(0.3=\frac{\text { Mass }}{160 \times 0.05}\) Mass…
