30. At 25°C, evaporation of a 100cm³ solution of K2CO3 to dryness gave 14g of the salt. What is the solubility of K2CO3 at 25°C? [K2CO3=138]

  • A. 0.01 mol dm⁻³
  • B. 0.101 mol dm⁻³
  • C. 1.01 mol dm⁻³Correct
  • D. 10.0 mol dm⁻³

Explanation

Moles of K2CO3 = 14/138 = 0.1014 mol. Volume = 0.1 dm³. Solubility = 0.1014/0.1 = 1.014 mol dm⁻³ ≈ 1.01 mol dm⁻³.
