Answer:
M = moles solute
L solution
Recall that the solution is the combination of both solute and solvent.
You are given 1 L of solution (containing glucose in water) and the molarity is 2.5 M.
Plug into our equation and solve for the moles of solute (glucose)
2.5 M = moles glucose
1.0 L solution
Moles glucose = 2.5 M x 1.0 L solution
= 2.5 moles glucose.
