16.55g of lead (ll) trioxonitrate (V) was dissolved in 100g of distilled water at 20oC, calculate the solubility of the solute in moldm-3

[Pb = 207, N = 14, O = 16]

A.

0.05 g

B.

2.00 g

C.

1.00 g

D.

0.50g

Correct answer is D

molar mass of pb (N0 3) 2 = 331
Mole = \(\frac{16.55}{331}\)= 0.05 mole
∴0.05mole pb (No3)2 dissolved in 1000g H2O x = \(\frac{0.05\times1000}{100}\)= 0.5 mole /dm 3
