1. The solubility of AgNO3 at 20°C is 222.0g AgNO3/100g H2O. What mass of AgNO3 can be dissolved in 250 g of water at 20°C? Recall that solubility = mass of solute/ mass of solvent.

2. The solubility of methane, the major component of natural gas, in water at 20°C and 1.00 atm pressure is 0.026 g/L. If the temperature remains constant, what will be the solubility of this gas at 0.06 atm pressure? Recall the relationship between solubility and pressure for gases: S1/P1 = S2/P2

Respuesta :

Answer :

(1) The mass of silver nitrate is, 555 g

(2) The solubility of the gas will be, 0.433 g/L

Solution for Part 1 :

From the given data we conclude that

In 100 gram of water, the amount of silver nitrate = 222 g

In 250 gram of water, the amount of silver nitrate = [tex]\frac{222}{100}\times 250=555g[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of silver nitrate is, 555 g

Solution for Part 2 :

Formula used : [tex]S_1P_1=S_2P_2[/tex]     (at constant temperature)

where,

[tex]S_1[/tex] = initial solubility of methane gas = 0.026 g/L

[tex]S_2[/tex] = final solubility of methane gas

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of methane gas = 1 atm

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of methane gas = 0.06 atm

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the solubility of methane gas.

[tex](0.026g/L)\times (1atm)=S_2\times (0.06atm)[/tex]

[tex]S_2=0.433g/L[/tex]

Therefore, the solubility of the gas will be, 0.433 g/L
