Question

What is the solubility of NH4Cl at 50°C?

A.

20 grams

B.

35 grams

C.

40 grams

D.

45 grams

E.

50 grams

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solubility is defined as the amount of substance (known as solute) which is dissolved in a unit volume of liquid substance (known as solvent) to produce a saturated solution at specific temperature and pressure. It is expressed in number of moles of solute present per 100 grams of solvent.

This property is directly dependent on temperature. As, the temperature increases, the solubility of the solute increases and vice-versa.

`\text{Solubility}\propto \text{Temperature}`

`NH_4Cl` is an ionic salt whose solubility increases as we increase the temperature.

The solubility of ammonium chloride at 50°C is 50 grams.

Hence, the correct answer is Option E.

Answer 2

The correct answer is E. 50 grams

The solubility of Ammonium Chloride has an increasing trend as the temperature increases. Experiments show that the solubility at 323K is approximately 50.4 grams per 100 grams o water thus this value is close to choice D, 50 grams
