Question

The saturation point for a solution is 45.0 grams of solute per 500 grams of solvent. If you pour 50.0 grams of

solute into 800 grams of solvent, how many grams of solid solute will there be at the bottom of the container?
3-digit answer

Answer 1

5.00 g of solute will remain undissolved at the bottom of the container

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the solubility of the solute in the given solvent is 45.0 grams of solute per 500 grams of solvent.

Now if i pour 50.0 grams of solute into 800 grams of solvent, it means that only 45 g will dissolve in 500 g of solvent leaving the additional 5 g undissolved.

Hence, 5 g of solute will remain undissolved at the bottom of the container.
