When 250 cm^3 of a saturated solution of CuSO4 at 30 C was evaporated to dryness, 5.0 g of the salt was obtained. What is the solubility of the salt at 30 C? [CuSO4=160]

  • A. 0.031
  • B. 0.125Correct
  • C. 0.640
  • D. 1.560

Explanation

Mole of CuSO4 = 5.0g/160gmol^-1 = 0.03125 mol. Volume=250cm^3=0.25dm^3. Solubility(in mol/dm^3)=0.03125mol/0.25dm^3=0.125 mol/dm^3.
