Amanda is trying to determine the solubility of nickel chloride (NiCl2) in water. She finds that her 1 liter saturated solution has 0.55 M of chloride ions. What is the solubility of nickel chloride?
  1. 23.8 g/L
  2. 31.7 g/L
  3. 35.5 g/L
  4. 41.3 g/L
  5. 52.1 g/L
Explanation
Answer: C - If a saturated solution has 0.55 M of chloride ions, then that means 0.275 moles of nickel chloride have dissolved. 1 mole of nickel chloride weighs 129 grams. Thus, the solubility is 129 x 0.275 g/L, or 35.4g/L.
