117.0g of sodium chloride was dissolved in 1.0dm3 of distilled water at 25C. Determine the solubility in mol dm3 of sodium chloride at that temperature

  • A. 1.0 B
  • B. 2.0Correct
  • C. 3.0
  • D. 4.0

Explanation

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5gmol-1. Mole of NaCl = 117g/58.5gmol-1 = 2.0mol. Volume of water = 1.0dm3. Solubility (in moldm-3) = 2.0mol/1.0dm3 = 2.0moldm-3.
