A saturated solution of magnesium iodate has a temperature of 50°C. it contains 175g of dissolved solute. What is the volume of the solution?
Surely you have more information than this. A table you can use? A graph? Something.
there is a graph yes, but it's confusing
To determine the volume of the solution, we need to use the information given about the solubility of magnesium iodate and its temperature.
The solubility of a substance refers to the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. In this case, we have a saturated solution of magnesium iodate, which means that no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at the given temperature.
To find the volume of the solution, we will need to know the solubility of magnesium iodate at 50°C. Unfortunately, this information is not provided in the question. The solubility can vary depending on temperature, so we need to consult a reference source or a solubility table for magnesium iodate at 50°C.
Once we find the solubility, we can compare it with the amount of solute (175g) provided in the question. If the amount of solute is less than the solubility, it means the solution is not saturated, and we cannot determine the volume with the given information. However, if the amount of solute is equal to or greater than the solubility, it means the solution is saturated, and we can proceed to calculate the volume.
Therefore, without the specific solubility of magnesium iodate at 50°C, we cannot determine the volume of the solution.
