Given info : 25 gm of saturated solution of an organic compound is taken. the saturated solution is evaporated to dryness residue left in 2.8gm.
To find : the solubility of organic compound is...
solution : solubility of a solute in a solvent at any temperature is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in 100g of solvent.
mathematically,
solubility = mass solute/mass solvent × 100
here mass of solute = 2.8gm
mass of solvent = 25g - 2.8g = 22.2g
so solubility = 2.8/22.2 × 100 = 12.6 %
Therefore the solubility of organic compound is 12.6 %
