a saturated solution of salt X contains 0.28g of the salt in 100cm3 of solution at 25degree centigrate, what is the solubility of the salt X at this temperature (R.m.m of X=56)
What am I missing? Isn't the solubility 0.28 g/100 cc?
I don't know it please help me
The answer
A saturated solution of
To find the solubility of the salt, we need to calculate the amount of salt dissolved in a given volume of solution, which is measured in grams per 100 cm3.
Given data:
Mass of salt X = 0.28g
Volume of solution = 100 cm3
Temperature = 25°C
Relative Molecular Mass (RMM) of X = 56 g/mol
To find the solubility, we divide the mass of the salt by the volume of the solution:
Solubility = Mass of salt / Volume of solution
Solubility = 0.28g / 100 cm3
Now, we need to convert the solubility to g/100 cm3 by multiplying by 100:
Solubility = (0.28 / 100) * 100
Solubility = 0.28 g/100 cm3
Therefore, the solubility of salt X at this temperature is 0.28 g/100 cm3.
Note: The solubility represents the maximum amount of salt X that can dissolve in 100 cm3 of solution at the given temperature and is often expressed in units of g/100 cm3 or g/mL.
