18.9

Explanation:

Given data

Volume (V) : 764.9 mL = 0.7649 L Molar concentration (C) : 0.137 M = 0.137 mol/L

We can find the moles (n) of glucose using the following expression.

n = C * V

n = 0.137 mol/L * 0.7649 L

n = 0.105 mol

The molar mass of glucose is 180.16 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.105 moles is:

m = 0.105 mol * 180.16 g/mol = 18.9 g
