When you pour 125 grams of solute into 1.25 Liters of 35 grams of crystal sink to the bottom and do not dissolve. What is the saturation point in terms of grams per liter?

Answer:

72 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

The dissolved amount of solute is the difference between the amount you have poured and the amount that precipitated:

125 g - 35 g = 90 g

Thus, 90 grams of solute were dissolved in 1.25 liters. The saturation point is the ratio between the grams dissolved and the volume in liters:

saturation point = 90 g/1.25 L = 72 g/L
