Question
At 35°C, in 75 g of saturated solution of a salt, there are 25 g of the solute. Determine the solubility of the salt. [Ans. 50]
Answer
Mass of solute = 25 g
Mass of solvent = 75 – 25 = 50 g
There appears to be an error in the provided answer. Using the given information, the solubility of the salt can be calculated as follows:
Solubility = mass\ of\ solute \over mass\ of\ solvent
Solubility = {25 \over 50}×100
Solubility = 50
Therefore, the solubility of the salt at 35°C is 50.
