Chapter 11, Problem 42QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum amount of ammonium chloride $\left(\text{NH4Cl}\right)$ in grams $\left(\text{g}\right)$ that will dissolve in $\text{455}\text{.0 g}$ of water at $30°\text{C}$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

$\text{NH4Cl}$ is an ionic solute and water is a polar solvent. Thus, $\text{NH4Cl}$ is easily soluble in water to give solution. Solubility of a solute is the maximum amount of the solute in grams $\left(\text{g}\right)$ or kilograms $\left(\text{kg}\right)$ soluble in a given amount of solvent.
