The solubility of silver chloride at 50°c is 10.24g per 100g of solvent and at 10°c it is 2.15g. Calculate the mass of silver chloride precipitated when a saturated solution of 50g of silver chloride was cooled from 50°c to 10°c
Accepted Answer
Assuming that the decrease in solubility is linear over the temperature range, the mass of silver chloride precipitated can be calculated as follows:
Mass of silver chloride precipitated = (Solubility at 50°C - Solubility at 10°C) * (Mass of solvent)
(10.24 g / 100 g - 2.15 g / 100 g) * 50 g
= 40.45 g
Therefore, the mass of silver chloride precipitated when a saturated solution of 50 g of silver chloride was cooled from 50°C to 10°C is 40.45 g.
