a doctor has ordered that a patient be given 15g of glucose which is available in a concentration of 50.00 g glucose/1000mL of solution what volume of solution should be given to the patient?

Question

Welcome to OpenStudy. Use n=mV after finding the number of moles of 15g of glucose.

Thank you!

You're welcome. Can you do it now? :)

Well im not sure what molar mass means

wolfe8 · Answer

It is the total mass of all elements in the compound. You can find them in the periodic table http://www.ptable.com/

Ok...so the formula isn't Density=Mass/Volume? For some reason that's what i thought it was.

wolfe8 · Answer

No no. Density is not involved here. You are given the concentration of the solution, which means how much of it you have in a volume of it. So
1) Find the number of mole of 15g of glucose by dividing 15 with the total mass of elements in glucose
2) Rearrange n=mV to get V=n/m where n is the number of mole, m is the concentration, and V is volume. Make sure you have the right units
