1. Understand Molarity

Molarity (M) is a measure of concentration defined as moles of solute per liter of solution.

2. Use the Formula

* Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution

3. Rearrange to Solve for Moles

* moles of solute = Molarity (M) * liters of solution

4. Plug in the Values

* moles of sugar = 0.24 M * 0.500 L

* moles of sugar = 0.12 moles

Therefore, you need 0.12 moles of sugar (C12H24O12) to make a 0.500 L 0.24 M solution.
