Answer

There is a total of 6.8 g of solute in 75 mL of that solution.

Work Step by Step

1. Since the molarity of that solution is equal to $ 0.50 \space M \space C_6H_{12}O_6$: $1 \space L \space solution = 0.50 \space mole \space C_6H_{12}O_6$ $\frac{1 \space L \space solution}{ 0.50 \space mole \space C_6H_{12}O_6} $ and $\frac{ 0.50 \space mole \space C_6H_{12}O_6}{1 \space L \space solution}$ 2. Determine the molar mass of this compound ($C_6H_{12}O_6$), and setup the conversion factors: Molar mass : $C: 12.01g * 6= 72.06g $ $H: 1.008g * 12= 12.10g $ $O: 16.00g * 6= 96.00g $ 72.06g + 12.10g + 96.00g = 180.16g $ \frac{1 \space mole \space (C_6H_{12}O_6)}{ 180.16 \space g \space (C_6H_{12}O_6)}$ and $ \frac{ 180.16 \space g \space (C_6H_{12}O_6)}{1 \space mole \space (C_6H_{12}O_6)}$ 3. 1 L = 1000 mL, therefore: $\frac{1 \space L}{1000 \space mL}$ and $\frac{1000 \space mL}{1 \space L}$ 4. Use the conversion factors to calculate the mass of solute in $ 75$ mL of that solution: $75 \space mL \space solution \times \frac{1 \space L}{1000 \space mL} \times\frac{ 0.50 \space mole \space C_6H_{12}O_6}{1 \space L \space solution} \times \frac{ 180.16 \space g \space C_6H_{12}O_6}{1 \space mole \space C_6H_{12}O_6} = 6.8 \space g \space C_6H_{12}O_6$
