A saturated solution of NaCl is formed by adding 500.g of NaCl to 0.500L of water. The excess solid NaCl is filtered from the solution, and after being dried in an oven, the mass was determined to be 346.8g. Required:
What is the solubility of NaCl?

4.96 mol/dm³

Explanation:

From the question,

Mass of NaCl that dissolved in 0.5L of water = 500-346.8 = 153.2 g.

Therefore, 145.2(1/0.5)g of NaCl will dissolve in 1 L of water

mass of NaCl that will dissolve in 1 L of water = 290.4 g/dm³

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol.

Solubility is the amount of substance in mol that will dissolve in 1 L or 1 dm³ Solution.

 solubility in (mol/dm³) = solubility in (g/dm³)/molar mass.

solubility in (mol/dm³) = 290.4/58.5

solubility in (mol/dm³) = 4.96 mol/dm³

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
