Question
A geochemist in the field takes a small sample of the crystals of mineral compound X from a rock pool lined with more crystals of X. He notes the temperature
of the pool, 17.° C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist dissolves the crystals in 4.00 L of distilled water. He then filters this solution
and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 0.080 kg.
Using only the information above, can you calculate
the solubility of X in water at 17.° C ?
If you said yes, calculate it.
Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the right
number of significant digits.
