What is the solubility of X if 25 cm3 of its saturated solution contains 4g of X (x=60)

1 answer

To find the solubility of substance \( X \), we can use the information given about its saturated solution. The solubility can be expressed in grams of solute per 100 cm³ of solution.

  1. First, we know that in 25 cm³ of saturated solution, there are 4 g of \( X \).
  2. To find out how much solute would be present in 100 cm³, we can set up a proportion:

\[ \text{Solubility (g/100 cm³)} = \left( \frac{4 , \text{g}}{25 , \text{cm}^3} \right) \times 100 , \text{cm}^3 \]

  1. Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Solubility} = \left( \frac{4 , \text{g}}{25} \right) \times 100 = \frac{400}{25} = 16 , \text{g/100 cm}^3 \]

Thus, the solubility of \( X \) is 16 g/100 cm³ or equivalently 16 g/L.
