Solution

The correct options to produce a 5% dextrose solution would be:

  • 5g/100 ml
  • 50g/L

Here's why:

  • A 5% solution means there are 5 grams of a solute (in this case, dextrose) in every 100 milliliters of solution. So, 5g/100 ml is correct.
  • Since 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (ml), a 5% solution would also mean there are 50 grams of dextrose in every 1 liter of solution. So, 50g/L is also correct.

The other options (10g/100 ml, 5g/L, 10g/L, 500g/L) would not produce a 5% dextrose solution.
