Ageochemist in the field takes a 25.0 ml sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound x . he notes the temperature of the pool, 15.° c , and caps the sample carefully. back in the lab, the geochemist first dilutes the sample with distilled water to 450. ml . then he filters it and evaporates all the water under vacuum. crystals of x are left behind. the researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. they weigh 0.300 g . using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of x in water at 15.° c ? yesno if you said yes, calculate it. be sure your answer has a unit symbol and 3 significant digits. ×10μ

1- Yes, we can calculate the solubility of mineral compound X.

2- 0.012 g/mL.

Explanation:

1- Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 15.0 °C?

The information available is:

The volume of water sample = 25.0 mL.

Weight of the mineral compound X after evaporation, drying, and washing = 0.30 g.

∴ Yes, we can calculate the solubility of mineral compound X.

2-  If you said yes, calculate it.

∵ 25.0 mL of water sample contains → 0.30 g of the mineral compound X.

∴ 1.0 mL  of water sample contains → ??? g of the mineral compound X.

1.0 ml of water sample will contain (0.3 g/25.0 mL) 0.012 g.

∴ The solubility of the mineral compound X in the water sample is 0.012 g/mL.

the answer is a! (2.9 x 10^-18 j) hope i could someone. : )

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
