Molar mass H₂O = 18.0 g/mol

number of moles :

1.0 / 18.0 => 0.055 moles

1 mole -------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
0.055 moles -------- ? molecules

molecules = 0.055 x ( 6.02 x 10²³) / 1

molecules = 3.311x10²² / 1

= 3.311 x 10²² molecules

hope this helps!

A geochemist in the field takes a 36.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X.

Answer:

solubility of X in water at 17.0 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ is 0.11 g/mL.

Explanation:

Yes, the solubility of X in water at 17.0 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ can be calculated using the information given.

Let's assume solubility of X in water at 17.0 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ is y g/mL

The geochemist ultimately got 3.96 g of crystals of X after evaporating the diluted solution made by diluting the 36.0 mL of stock solution.

So, solubility of X in 1 mL of water = y g

Hence, solubility of X in 36.0 mL of water = 36y g

So, 36y = 3.96

or, y = $\frac{3.96}{36}$ = 0.11

Hence solubility of X in water at 17.0 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ is 0.11 g/mL.
