Question
Glycerol. C3HgO3, is a substance used extensively in the manufacture of cosmetics, foodstuffs, antifreeze, and plastics. Glycerol is a water-soluble liquid
with a density of 1.2656 g/mL at 15 °C. Calculate the molarity of a solution of glycerol made by dissolving 50.000 mL glycerol at 15 °C in enough water to
make 250.00 mL of solution. The molecular weight of C3HgO3 is 92.094 amu.

Answer: The correct option is E.) 2.749 M.
Explanation:
Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.
Given values:
Volume of glycerol = 50.0 mL
Density of glycerol = 1.2656 g/mL
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
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:
Given values:
Given mass of glycerol = 63.28 g
Molar mass of glycerol = 92.094 g/mol
Volume of the solution = 250.00 mL
Putting values in equation 2, we get:
Hence, the correct option is E.) 2.749 M.
