8) What is the molarity (M) of an aqueous solution containing 22.5 g of sucrose (C12H22011) in 35.5 mL of solution? A) 3.52 M
B) 1.85 x 10-2M
C) 0.104 M
D) 0.0657 M
E) 1.85 M

The molarity of the aqueous solution is 1.85 M. The correct option is E) 1.85 M

From the question,

We are to determine the molarity (that is, concentration) of the given sucrose solution

First, we will determine the number of moles present in the given mass of sucrose

Mass of sucrose = 22.5 g

Using the formula

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.2965 g/mol

∴ Number of moles of sucrose present =

Number of moles of sucrose present = 0.0657325 moles

Now, for the molarity (concentration) of the sucrose solution

From the formula

Number of moles = Concentration × Volume

Then,

From the question,

Volume = 35.5 mL = 0.0355 L

∴

Concentration = 1.85 M

Hence, the molarity of the aqueous solution is 1.85 M. The correct option is E) 1.85 M

E) 1.85 M

Explanation:

M(C12H22O11) = 342.3 g/mol

22.5 g * 1mol/342.3 g = 0.0657 mol

35.5 mL = 0.0355 L

Molarity = mol solute/L solution = 0.0657 mol/0.0355L =1.85 mol/L = 1.85 M
