Answer to Question #140062 in Organic Chemistry for Arvie Romana Leal

Question

Salt A of 40 g is mixed with 500 g solvent. Solubility is 10 g A/100 g solvent.
3a) What is the concentration? In g/100 g solvent

3b) What is the resulting solution in terms of saturation level?

3c) If 30 g more of salt was added, how many more will be dissolved? What kind of solution/mixture will
be produced?

Answer 1

3a) 40g - 500 g

x - 100

x=8

Answer: 8g/100g solvent

3b) 10g - 100%

8g - x

x=80%

Answer: 80%

3c) Solubility: 50g/500g solvent

10g will be dissolved (50-40)

Answer: 10g; saturated solution
