How does 0.5 m sucrose (molecular mass 342) solution compare to 0.5 m glucose (molecular mass 180) solution?

0.5 m sucrose (molecular mass 342) solution compare to 0.5 m glucose (molecular mass 180) solution has a mass ratio of 2: 1

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight/volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution.

m = Molality

n = Number of moles of solute

p = Solvent mass (gram)

The mole fraction shows the mole ratio of a substance to the mole of solution / mixture

nA + nB = 1

There are 0.5 m sucrose (molecular mass 342) solution and 0.5 m glucose (molecular mass 180)

Then the comparison of the two is from the ratio of mass (assuming the mass of the solvent is equal to 1 kg)

Sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) 0.5 molal then the mass:

mass = 0.5 m x 342 = 171 grams

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) 0.5 molal then the mass:

mass = 0.5 m x 180 = 90 grams

So the mass ratio = 171: 90 = 1.9: 1 or we round it to 2: 1

according to the u.s. department of agriculture, the label of "certified organic" comes with a set of highly regulated standards for environmental stewardship and resource conservation. some of these include maintenance and improvement of soil quality, prevention of ground and surface water contamination, greenhouse gas regulation, encouragement of biodiversity and conservation of water and energy (see references 1). organic practices integrate natural methods such as mulching, plant diversity, native and adapted plants, crop rotation and the introduction of beneficial insects to control pests without synthetic pesticides.

environmental implications of pesticides

synthetic pesticides ensure high crop yields. while effective in achieving this goal, pesticides contaminate soil, air, ground and surface water, as well as the plants and animals that come into contact with these contaminated sources. freshwater and marine organisms are particularly susceptible to pesticides through agricultural runoff. pesticides also reduce soil fertility (necessitating the use of synthetic fertilizers) and can travel far from the original source, contaminating water and air hundreds of miles from the location of application (see references 2).

health implications of organics

although a subject of particular debate, many recent findings show that organic food is healthier than conventionally grown food. according to the usda, an extensive european union-funded study found that organically grown foods contain more beneficial compounds, such as the vitamins and antioxidants needed to combat many diseases (see references 5). organic milk, meat and eggs are regulated to ensure they are free of hormones administered to conventional livestock and poultry.

health implications of pesticides

pesticides affect human health in three ways: through skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. acute and long-term exposure to pesticides can cause serious health problems for farmers who apply them. the majority of other people are affected by drinking contaminated water and eating contaminated marine life (see references 3). pesticides have been linked to neurological disorders, endocrine and reproductive disorders, immune system deficiencies and cancer. according to the world health organization, acute pesticide poisoning (app) is responsible for significant annual mortality, especially in developing nations (see references 4).

other important considerations

not every small farm or business owner can afford the costly certification process required to be considered "certified organic," even if the farm is not using chemicals. "transitional" farms include those that once used chemicals and are now transitioning to organic-only production. in addition, though organic farming methods offer obvious environmental benefit, an organic apple shipped from around the world creates a different set of environmental problems. locally grown food (particularly locally grown, organic food) is key in sustainable food production.
