Sasha did an experiment to study the solubility of two substances. she poured 100 ml of water at 20°c into each of two beakers labeled a and b. she put 50 g of substance a in the beaker labeled a and 50 g of substance b in the beaker labeled b. the solution in both beakers was stirred for one minute. the amount of substance left undissolved in the beaker was weighed. the experiment was repeated for different temperature of water and the observations were recorded as shown. substance a: 20°c 12 40°c 11 60°c 9 80°c 8 substance b: 20°c 45 40°c 40 60°c 34 80°c 31 which substance has a higher solubility? explain your answer

Substance A

Explanation:

Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve in another called solvent (in this case the solvent is water). Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a certain amount of solvent, at a certain temperature. If it is not possible to dissolve more solute in a solution, the solution is said to be saturated.

In this case we cannot measure the amount of solute that dissolves but we can calculate the amount that did not dissolve in the water.

At 20 ° C there is 12g of substance that did not dissolve.  

This means that 38g of the initial 50g were dissolved . (50-12=38)

And at the same temperature there is 45g of substance B that did not dissolve.  This means that only 5g of the initial 50g were dissolved . 50-45 = 5g.

At 20 ° C substance A is more soluble than B. This can be compared at other temperatures and it is seen that substance A is always more soluble than B.

answer: the answer is b
