Answer:
89.4%
Explanation:
Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.
So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g
The percent recovery is:
(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%
