I could use some help with this question.

Question 5 (1 point) If you have a 30% solution of glucose and you want to make a 3% solution, which of the following is the correct way to make it? 0 A) Add 1mL of the 30% glucose to 10mL of water B) Add 1mL of the 30% glucose to 22mL of water C) Add 1mL of the 30% glucose to 18mL of water D) Add 1 mL of the 30% glucose to 9mL of water

Explanation / Answer

Add 1 ml of 30% glucose to 9ml of water

In order to solve this, lets consider we have 100ml of 30% glucose solution (30g of glucose in 100ml of distilled water). To make this solution 3%, we will have to dilute it with more water.

30g of glucose in 100ml of water = 30% glucose solution

30g of glucose in 1000ml of water = 3% glucose solution.

We have 100 ml of 30% glucose solution. Adding 900 ml of water will make it 1000 ml of 3% glucose solution.

i.e., 100:900 which is nothing but 1:9 ratio.

So, adding 1ml of 30% glucose solution to 9ml of water will give 3% glucose solution.
