3. 06 g of a sample of potassium trioxochlorate (V) (KCIO\(_3\)) was required to make a saturated solution with 10cm\(^3\) of water at 25°C. The solubility of the salt at 25°C is [K =39, Cl = 35.5, O = 16]

A.

5.0 moles dm3

B.

3.0 moles dm3

C.

2.5 moles dm3

D.

1.0 molesv

E.

0.5 moles dm3

Correct answer is C

Molar mass of KCIO\(_3\) = 122.5 g/mol

3.06g = 10
xg = 1000

\(frac{3.06 * 1000}{10}\)

= 306g
Molar conc = \(frac{Mass conc}{Molar mass}\)
Molar conc = \(frac{306}{122.5}\)

= 2.497mol/dm\(^3\)
