How many moles of sugar are in a 10 mL sip of a soft drink whose sucrose concentration is 0.375 M?
A0.0375 mol
B0.375 mol
C0.04 mol
D0.004 mol
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 0.004 mol
1. Rearranging the definition of molarity gives moles of solute = molarity x litres of solution.
2. Convert the volume: 10 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.010 L.
3. Multiply: 0.375 mol/L x 0.010 L.
4. The result is 0.004 mol of sugar.
5. The value 0.0375 mol comes from using 0.100 L instead of 0.010 L, a decimal place out.
