A student calculated the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.730 mol of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) in 1.8x10^3 mL of water as 4.06x10^-4 M C12H22O11. Explain the student's calculation error and explain how the student should solve for the correct value of molarity. Show a valid calculation for the molarity.
The student made a mistake because he did not convert a unit of volume from milliliters to liters. After all, molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
