Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
1.95 gms of NaCl dissolves in 5 cm solution at 30°C
Number of gm of solute required to dissolve in
100 gm = (1.950 x 100)/ (5 x 1) = 1.95 x 20 = 39.0
390 gms will dissolve in 1000 dm3
Solution
Solubility of NaCl at 30°C in
(dm3 is 390)/(Mol wt g NaCl) = 6.67 mol dm3
1.95 gms of NaCl dissolves in 5 cm solution at 30°C
Number of gm of solute required to dissolve in
100 gm = (1.950 x 100)/ (5 x 1) = 1.95 x 20 = 39.0
390 gms will dissolve in 1000 dm3
Solution
Solubility of NaCl at 30°C in
(dm3 is 390)/(Mol wt g NaCl) = 6.67 mol dm3
