Question

If 1.72g of a substance A dissolves in 25 cubic centimeters of a liquid, what is the solubility in g/100 cubic centimeters?

a) 0.68 g/100 cc
b) 6.88 g/100 cc
c) 1.72 g/100 cc
d) 0.17 g/100 cc

Answer 1

The solubility of substance A in the given liquid is 6.88 g/100 cc.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solubility of a substance is defined as the amount of that substance that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. In this case, we have 1.72g of substance A dissolving in 25 cubic centimeters of a liquid. To calculate the solubility in g/100 cubic centimeters, we can use the formula:

Solubility (g/100 cc) = (mass of substance A / volume of liquid) x 100

Solubility (g/100 cc) = (1.72g / 25 cc) x 100 = 6.88 g/100 cc

Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 6.88 g/100 cc.
