Question

The solubility in water of lonic compound X is measured and found to be 52.6 at 10. °C. Calculate the volume of a saturated solution of X in water that wouldcontain 43.0 g of X' at this temperature.Be sure your answer has the correct unit symbol and 3 significant digits.D.DH8

Answer 1

In this question, we are presented with a substance X with a solubility of 52.6 g/L, which means that in every 1 liter of volume, we will dissolve 52.6 grams of it at 10°C. Now the question asks about the volume for 43.0 grams at the same temperature:

52.6 grams = 1 Liter

43.0 grams = x Liters

52.6x = 43.0

x = 43.0/52.6

x = 0.817 Liters of volume
