I don't understand how to solve these types of questions.
What mass of sucrose, C12H24O11, is needed to make 500 mL of a 0.20 M solution?
Break down step by step please.
Thanks in advance!

molecular weight of sucrose is 342 grams , so a 1 molar solution would be 342grams/ 1 liter
you have a half a liter so you can divide that in half to make a 1 molar solution for 500 mils , so you have 171 grams/ .5L (500mls) you further more want only .2 molar not an entire mole so you can break it up by multiplying by 1/5 or .2 this 34.2 grams of sucrose. 34.2grams in 500 mls would make .2M
*Hopefully me taking out all the dimensional analysis bull crap and just showing it as it is helps*
