The solubility of an ionic compound is 30 grams of compound in 100 mililiters of water. If 60 grams of the compound is dissolved in 200 mL of water, the solution will saturated. t/f
To determine if the solution will be saturated, we need to compare the amount of solute (in this case, the ionic compound) in the solution to its solubility.
The solubility of the compound is given as 30 grams in 100 milliliters of water. This means that 100 mL of water can dissolve 30 grams of the compound.
Now, let's compare this to the actual situation. We are adding 60 grams of the compound into 200 mL of water.
To determine if the solution will be saturated or not, we need to calculate the concentration (in grams per milliliter) of the compound in the solution.
Concentration = Mass of Solute (g) / Volume of Solution (mL)
Using the values given, we have:
Concentration = 60 grams / 200 mL
Simplifying:
Concentration = 0.3 grams/mL
From this calculation, we can see that the concentration of the compound in the solution is higher than the solubility of the compound in water (which is 30 grams per 100 mL).
Therefore, the statement "the solution will be saturated" is false.
