On evaporation to dryness, 250cm³ of saturated solution of salt X with relative molar mass 101 gave 50.5g of the salt. What is the solubility of the salt?

  • A. A. 1.0 moldm⁻³
  • B. B. 2.0 moldm⁻³Correct
  • C. C. 4.0 moldm⁻³
  • D. D. 5.0 moldm⁻³

Explanation

Mole = mass/molar mass = 50.5/101 = 0.5 mol. Volume = 250cm³ = 0.25 dm³. Solubility = mole/volume = 0.5/0.25 = 2 moldm⁻³.
