Given: • The solubility of X at 100ºC in water is 18.0 g/100 mL water. • The solubility of X at 0ºC in water is 3.6 g/100 mL water. How many mL of boiling water would be required to dissolve 25g of X? If that solution was then cooled down to 0ºC, how many grams of X could then crystallize out? What would be the maximum yield recovery for X?
solubility at 100ºC = 18.0 g/100 mL
The solubility of X at 0ºC = 3.6 g/100 mL
volume of water needed to boil 25 g ox X
18 g -----------------------------> 100 mL
25 g --------------------------------> ?
volume of water = 100 x 25 / 18
= 138.9 mL
boiling water needed = 138.9 mL -----------------------> ( answer 1)
solubility of 138.9 mL = 138.9 x 3.6 / 100
= 5 g
crystallize out amount = 25 - 5
= 20 g
recovery yield = 5 g
