Question

The solubility in water of ionic compound X is measured and found to be 0.776g/mL at 15.°C. Calculate the volume of a saturated solution of X in water that would contain 34.0g of X at this temperature. Be sure your answer has the correct unit symbol and 3 significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of a saturated solution of X in water that would contain 34.0g of X is 43.9 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Solubility is defined as the amount of solute dissolved per 100 ml of the solvent at a fixed temperatur.

Given : solubility of ionic compound X in water at
`15^0C` = 0.776 g/ml

0.774 g of X is contained in = 1 ml

Thus 34.0 g g of X is contained in =
`(1)/(0.774)* 34.0=43.9 ml`

Thus the volume of a saturated solution of X in water that would contain 34.0g of X is 43.9 ml
