How many grams of CuCl can be dissolved in 5.00 L of water before a precipitate forms?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The solubility product constant for CuCl is 1.0 × 10^-6. Therefore, the concentration of CuCl in a saturated solution is:[CuCl] = sqrt(1.0 × 10^-6) = 1.0 × 10^-3 MThe number of moles of CuCl in 5.00 L of a saturated solution is:moles CuCl = [CuCl] × V = (1.0 × 10^-3 M) × (5.00 L) = 5.00 × 10^-3 molThe mass of CuCl in 5.00 L of a saturated solution is:mass CuCl = moles CuCl × MW CuCl = (5.00 × 10^-3 mol) × (99.0 g/mol) = 0.495 gTherefore, the correct answer is A) 0.49 g.
