On evaporation to dryness, 3503 of saturated solution of salt Z gave 55.5g of salt. What is the solubility of the salt? [Z = 101]

A.

1.57 moldm-3

B.

3.14 moldm-3

C.

6.28 moldm-3

D.

12.56 moldm-3

Correct answer is A

Saturated solution = 3503
mass of salt Z in saturated solution = 55.5g
Number of moles of salt = 55.5101 = 0.55mole
3503 of solution contains 0.55mole

1000cm3 will contain 1000×0.55350 = 1.57mol/dm3
