Answer: The correct option is C) 1.68 mol/L
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:
[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (L)}}[/tex] .....(1)
Given values:
Given mass of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex] = 150 g
Molar mass of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex] = 180 g/mol
Volume of the solution = 0.50 L
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{150}{180\times 0.50}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=1.68M[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is C) 1.68 mol/L
