When 1 mole of glucose (C6H12O6) dissolves in water, ___ mole(s) of dissolved particles form. When 1 mole of Na2SO4 dissolves in water, ___ mole(s) of dissolved particles form.
Glucose is a covalent compound so it does not dissociate. It forms 1 mole of dissolved particles. Na₂SO₄ is ionic so it dissolves to release 2 moles of Na+ ions and one mole of SO₄-2 ions. The total moles released are 3 moles.
