If 50 cm³ of a saturated solution of KNO3 at 40°C contained 5.05g of the salt, its solubility at the same temperature would be [KNO3 = 101]

  • A. 1.0 mol dm⁻³Correct
  • B. 1.5 mol dm⁻³
  • C. 2.0 mol dm⁻³
  • D. 5.0 mol dm⁻³

Explanation

Moles of KNO3 = 5.05g ÷ 101 g/mol = 0.05 mol. Volume = 50cm³ = 0.05dm³. Solubility = 0.05mol ÷ 0.05dm³ = 1.0 mol dm⁻³.
