Explanation:
As it is given that solubility of water in diethyl ether is 1.468 %. This means that in 100 ml saturated solution water present is 1.468 ml.
Hence, amount of diethyl ether present will be calculated as follows.
(100ml - 1.468 ml)
= 98.532 ml
So, it means that 98.532 ml of diethyl ether can dissolve 1.468 ml of water.
Hence, 23 ml of diethyl ether can dissolve the amount of water will be calculated as follows.
Amount of water = 
= 0.3427 ml
Now, when magnesium dissolves in water then the reaction will be as follows.
Molar mass of Mg = 24.305 g
Molar mass of 
= 18 g
Therefore, amount of magnesium present in 0.3427 ml of water is calculated as follows.
Amount of Mg = 
= 0.462 g
The greater amount is the solvent and the lesser amount is the solute.
Hence ethanol(200g) which is the greater amount is the solvent here.
And water (145g) which is lesser is the solute here.
15 grams of NH3 can be dissolved
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
50 grams of water at 50°C
Required
mass of NH3
Solution
Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in some solvents. Factors that affect solubility
- 1. Temperature:
- 2. Surface area:
- 3. Solvent type:
- 4. Stirring process:
We can use solubility chart (attached) to determine the solubility of NH3 at 50°C
From the graph, we can see that the solubility of NH3 in 100 g of water at 50 C is 30 g
So that the solubility in 50 grams of water is:
= 50/100 x 30
= 15 grams
The mass number plays an important role for elements and their isotopes. Mass number comes from the addition of protons and neutrons (their weight). Isotopes are the elements, but with a different number of neutrons. So in turn, by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass, you can find the number of neutrons.
