15. Based on Figure 1, approximately how many more grams of sucrose will stay dissolved in 100 g of water at 80°C than at 20°C ?
Answer and Explanation
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
360-200=160, choose B
Passage III
The solubility of a substance is typically defined as the maximum mass, in grams (g), of the substance (the solute) that will stay dissolved in 100 g of a solvent (such as water). The solubility of a substance generally varies as the temperature of the solvent changes. Figure 1 shows, for each of 5 substances, how solubility in water varies with temperature.
Figure 2 shows, for 3 temperatures (25°C, 40°C, and 60°C), how the solubility of sucrose varies as the percent by mass of water in solvent mixtures of water and ethanol varies.
