Ageochemist in the field takes a 25.0 ml sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound x . he notes the temperature of the pool, 15.° c , and caps the sample carefully. back in the lab, the geochemist first dilutes the sample with distilled water to 450. ml . then he filters it and evaporates all the water under vacuum. crystals of x are left behind. the researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. they weigh 0.300 g . using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of x in water at 15.° c ? yesno if you said yes, calculate it. be sure your answer has a unit symbol and 3 significant digits. ×10μ

1- Yes, we can calculate the solubility of mineral compound X.

2- 0.012 g/mL.

Explanation:

1- Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 15.0 °C?

The information available is:

The volume of water sample = 25.0 mL.

Weight of the mineral compound X after evaporation, drying, and washing = 0.30 g.

∴ Yes, we can calculate the solubility of mineral compound X.

2-  If you said yes, calculate it.

∵ 25.0 mL of water sample contains → 0.30 g of the mineral compound X.

∴ 1.0 mL  of water sample contains → ??? g of the mineral compound X.

1.0 ml of water sample will contain (0.3 g/25.0 mL) 0.012 g.

∴ The solubility of the mineral compound X in the water sample is 0.012 g/mL.

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

where are the choice options?
