i am trying to find the minimum volume of hot water needed to dissolve 100 mg of salicylic acid.

when i did the calculations i got 100 ml of hot water is this correct??
The data is
[temp] [amount of salicylic acid
per 100 ml water, g]
0 0.10
10 0.13
25 0.23
50 0.63
75 1.8
90 3.7

To find the minimum volume of hot water needed to dissolve 100 mg of salicylic acid, you need to analyze the solubility data provided. The solubility of salicylic acid is given in grams of the acid per 100 ml of water at different temperatures.

First, convert the given amount of salicylic acid (100 mg) to grams by dividing by 1000:
100 mg ÷ 1000 = 0.1 g

Now, we need to find the temperature at which the solubility of salicylic acid equals or exceeds 0.1 g per 100 ml of water.

Looking at the temperature-solubility data, we see that at a temperature of 25°C, the solubility is 0.23 g per 100 ml of water. This means that at 25°C or above, the solubility of salicylic acid is sufficient to dissolve 100 mg (0.1 g).

So, in this case, the minimum volume of hot water needed to dissolve 100 mg of salicylic acid is indeed 100 ml of water.
