How many grams of dextrose are needed to make 725 mL of a 26.0% (w/v) dextrose solution? Note that mass is not technically the same thing as weight, but the abbreviation % (m/v) is often used interchangeably with % (w/v).

188.5g of dextrose are needed

Explanation:

In Weight per volume percentage - %(w/v) -, the concentration is defined as the mass of solute in grams -In this case, dextrose-, in 100mL of solution.

As you want to prepare 725mL of a 26.0% (w/v) solution. you need:

725mL * (26g / 100mL) = 188.5g of solute =

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
