Mass of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 16.55g. Given Mass of H₂O = 100g, taking the density of water as 1gcm⁻³ (volume of water = 100cm³ = 0.1dm³), calculate the solubility of Pb(NO₃)₂.

  • A. 0.50moldm⁻³
  • B. 0.16.55
  • C. 0.5modm⁻³Correct
  • D. 16.55g

Explanation

Molar mass of Pb(NO3)2 = 331gmol⁻¹. Mole of Pb(NO3)2 = 16.55g/331gmol⁻¹ = 0.05mol. Solubility = Conc. = Mole/Volume(dm³) = 0.05mol/0.1dm³ = 0.5moldm⁻³.
