15 grams of NH3 can be dissolved
Further explanation
Given
50 grams of water at 50°C
Required
mass of NH3
Solution
Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in some solvents. Factors that affect solubility
- 1. Temperature:
- 2. Surface area:
- 3. Solvent type:
- 4. Stirring process:
We can use solubility chart (attached) to determine the solubility of NH3 at 50°C
From the graph, we can see that the solubility of NH3 in 100 g of water at 50 C is 30 g
So that the solubility in 50 grams of water is:
= 50/100 x 30
= 15 grams
