Three saturated solutions have been prepared, all at 25°C.

Question

Solution A has 24g of solid dissolved in 125 mL of water, solution B has 18.5g of solid dissolved in 100 mL of water, and solution C has 41 g of solid dissolved in 200mL of water. Which solution contains the more soluble solid? 

 

Solution A

 

Solution B

 

Solution C

 

Solution A and B

 

Solution A, B, and C all have the same solubility. 

 

Me and my sister Karen both think it's solution C but we're not sure!

Answer 1

24 g/ 125mL = 0.192 g/ mL

 

18.5 g / 100 mL = .185 g/ mL

 

41 g / 200 mL = .205 g/mL

 

Solution C
