Question 15

Solubility and Solutions

If 24.4 g of lead(II) trioxonitrate(V) were dissolved in 42 g of distilled water at 20°C, calculate the solubility of the solute in gdm−3.

  1. A.581.000
  2. B.0.581
  3. C.5.810
  4. D.58.100
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: A (581.000)

Explanation

42 g of water is about 42 cm3. Per 1000 cm3: 24.4 × 1000/42 = 581 g dm−3.
