Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL
Density can be calculated from volume and mass of a substance as follows,
Given the volume of gold nugget = 5.40 mL
Calculating the mass of gold nugget from density and volume:
Therefore, the mass of the nugget is 104.22 g
Answer: If the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.
Explanation:
A solution which contains the maximum amount of solute is called a saturated solution. Whereas a solution in which more amount of solute is able to dissolve is called an unsaturated solution.
Now, the number of moles present in 36 g of NaCl (molar mass = 58.4 g/mol) is as follows.
This shows that solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water means a maximum of 0.616 mol of NaCl will dissolve in 100 mL of water.
So, a solution in which number of moles of NaCl are less than 0.616 mol per 100 mL then the solution formed will be an unsaturated solution.
Thus, we can conclude that if the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.
