Calculate the solubility in mol dm-3 of 40g of CuSO4 dissolved in 100g of water at 120°C?
[Cu = 64, S = 32, O = 16]

A.

4.00

B.

2.50

C.

0.40

D.

0.25

Correct answer is B

Solubility = \(\frac{\text{number of moles of solution}}{\text{vol of solution}}\)

100g of water = 100 cm\(^3\) = 0.1 dm\(^3\).

CuSO\(_4\) = 160 g/mol

No of moles of CuSO\(_4\) in 40g = \(\frac{40}{160}\)

= 0.25 mol.

Solubility = \(\frac{0.25}{0.1}\)

= 2.5 moldm\(^{-3}\).
