Calculate the solubility (in g of compound per 100 g of water) of a compound for which 0.74 g form a saturated solution in 2 mL of water. Density of water: 1.00 g/mL

0.74g in 2 mL H2O = 0.74g in 2 g H2O (since the density H2O is 1.00 g/mL). Therefore,

0.74g x 100g/2g = ??g/100g

To calculate the solubility of a compound, we need to determine the amount of the compound that dissolves in a given amount of solvent.

In this case, we are given that 0.74 g of the compound form a saturated solution in 2 mL of water.

First, we need to convert the volume from milliliters to grams using the density of water. The density of water is given as 1.00 g/mL.

To convert the volume to grams, we multiply the volume (2 mL) by the density of water:

2 mL * 1.00 g/mL = 2.00 g

Now, we can calculate the solubility. The solubility is defined as the amount of the compound that dissolves per 100 g of water.

Solubility = (mass of compound / mass of water) x 100

Since we are looking for the solubility per 100 g of water, we can divide the mass of the compound by the mass of water and then multiply by 100.

Solubility = (0.74 g / 2.00 g) x 100 = 37 g/100 g of water

Therefore, the solubility of the compound is 37 g per 100 g of water.
