A chemistry student weighs out 0.021 kg of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 650. mL of distilled water at 30. 0C. After 10 minutes of stirring, all of the X has dissolved. Just to be sure, the student adds a further 11. mg of X to the solution, and it, too, dissolves. Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 30. 0C?

Answer:

"No" I can't calculate the solubility of X.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Beyond certain temperatures or heat levels, a solvent's soluble has been determined by many as the proportion of something like the solution necessary for saturating the solvents' measured amount at around that atmospheric pressure.
  • This same solution isn't absorbed throughout this situation. It is not saturated however since the addition of 11 g of something like the mixture towards the solution completely dissolved without separating a solution.

This is why the preceding solution would be the proper one.
