. If 50cm3 of a saturated solution of potassium chloride at 30oC yielded 18.62g of dry salt, calculate the solubility of the salt in mol/dm3 at 30oC

18.62 X mols in a gram. Incomplete question. A constant is missing.

5 mol/dm3

Potassium Chloride = KCL

Solubility ( mol/dm3) = mass of solute (g) / molar mass ÷ volume of solvent.......equ 1

Remember Mole = Mass/Molar mass

Molar mass of KCL = K is 39.10g/mol, and CL is 35.45g/mol.

Adding them together, = 74.55 which is the molar mass of KCL.

Mass of dry salt is 18.62g
Mole of KCL = mass of dry salt/ molar mass of KCL

= 18.62/74.55 = 0.249 mol


We go back to equ 1

Solubility = Mole/ volume of solvent.

Remember, the volume of solvent is given in Cm3, it should be converted to dm3; 50/1000 = 0.05 dm3


From equ 1

Solubility= mole of KCL/ volume of solvent in dm3

= 0.249/0.05 = 5 mol/dm3

Hence, the solubility of KCL in Mol/dm3 at 30°C is 5 mol/dm3
