0.5 moles glucose

Explanation:

Molarity stands for mols of solute over a liter of solution, and the question I believe gives you the answer. Therefore by the definition of molarity, there is 0.5 mols of glucose in each liter of solution.

I would say #0.5 \ "mol"# of glucose.

Explanation:

Molarity is expressed by the equation

#"molarity"="moles of solute"/"liters of solution"#

A common way to measure molarity is by the letter #"M"#.

Know that #1 \ "M" = 1 \ "mol/L"#

Here, we have a #1 \ "L"# solution of #0.50 \ "M"# glucose, so that that means, that there are a total of

#1 \ cancel"L"*0.50 \ "mol""/"cancel"L"=0.50 \ "mol"# of glucose

We can now simplify #0.50 \ "mol" = 0.5 \ "mol"#

So, there exists #0.5# moles of glucose molecules in the solution.
