Calculate the solubility of KHT (in g/L) when 0.950 g of KHT is dissolved in 25.00 mL of water. Do not include units in your typed answer.

a) 38.0
b) 36.6
c) 39.5
d) 40.2

Answer :

The correct answer is(a)The solubility of KHT in water, when 0.950 g is dissolved in 25.00 mL, is calculated to be 38.0 g/L.

To calculate the solubility of KHT in water, we need to find out how much KHT can dissolve into a given quantity of water in grams per liter (g/L).

We have 0.950 g of KHT dissolved in 25.00 mL of water. To convert this to grams per liter, we follow these steps:

  1. First, we convert milliliters to liters: 25.00 mL is equal to 0.025 L.
  2. Next, we calculate the solubility in g/L by dividing the mass of KHT by the volume of water in liters.

The calculation is as follows:

(0.950 g) / (0.025 L) = 38.0 g/L

Therefore, the solubility of KHT in water is 38.0 g/L, which corresponds to option (a).
