Question

Calculate the solubility (in g of compound per 100 g of water) of a compound for which 0.74 g form a saturated solution in 2 mL of water. Density of water: 1.00 g/mL

Answer 1

0.74g in 2 mL H2O = 0.74g in 2 g H2O (since the density H2O is 1.00 g/mL). Therefore,
0.74g x 100g/2g = ??g/100g
