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 :

To find the solubility of KHT in water, the mass of the solute is divided by the volume of the solution in liters, which yields the answer of 38.0 g/L.

To calculate the solubility of KHT in g/L, we need to convert the mass of KHT (0.950 g) that dissolves into a certain volume of solvent, in this case, 25.00 mL of water. To find the solubility, we'll first convert the volume from mL to L (since solubility is expressed in g/L). 25 mL is equal to 0.025 L. Now we can calculate the solubility:

Solubility (g/L) = Mass of solute (g) / Volume of solution (L)

Solubility = 0.950 g / 0.025 L

Solubility = 38.0 g/L

The correct option is (a)
