calculate the volume

Question

The solubility in acetone of organic compound O is measured and found to be 0.527 g/mLat 10. °C. Calculate the volume of a saturated solution of O in acetone

that would contain 390. mg of O at this temperature.

Be sure your answer has the correct unit symbol and 3 significant digits.

Answer 1

Solubility of O in acetone @ 10º = 0.527 g/ml

390 mg O x 1 g / 1000 mg x 1 ml / 0.527 g = 0.740 mls (assuming O does not add to the volume)
