"Volume\\ (v) = 3500mL = 3.5L\\\\ concentration\\ (c) = 0.25mol\/L"


Using the formula,

"\\begin{aligned}\n\\textsf{number of moles} &= c \u00d7V\\\\\n&= 0.25\u00d7 3.5\\\\\n&= 0.875 moles\n\\end{aligned}"


note that the molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol

"\\begin{aligned}\\textsf{mass } &= \\textsf{number of moles}\u00d7 \\textsf{molar mass}\\\\\n&= 0.875\u00d7 180 \\\\\n&= 157.5g\n\\end{aligned}"



Therefore, 157.5g of glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, will be needed to dissolve in water.
