A sample of solid Y (OH) 3 was stirred in water at a certain temperature until the solution contained as much dissolved Y (OH) 3 as it could hold. A 550-mL sample of this solution was withdrawn and titrated with 7.74e-05 M HI. It required 50.1 mL of the acid solution for neutralization. What is the solubility of Y (OH) 3 in water, at the experimental temperature, in grams of Y (OH) 3 per liter of solution?

    Solubility of Y (OH) 3 = 3.29 * 10^-4 g / L

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Volume of Y (OH) 3 = 550 mL = 0.550 L

    Molarity of HI = 7.74 * 10^-5 M

    Volume of HI = 50.1 mL = 0.0501 L

    Step 2: Calculate the moles of HI

    Moles HI = molarity * volume

    Moles HI = 7.74 * 10^-5 M * 0.0501 L

    Moles HI = 0.00000387774

    Step 3: Calculate moles Y (OH) 3 needed

    For 1 mol Y (OH) 3 we need 3 moles HI

    For 0.00000387774 moles HI we need 0.00000387774/3 = 0.00000129258 mol

    Step 4: Calculate mass Y (OH) 3

    Mass Y (OH) 3 = moles * molar mass

    Mass Y (OH) 3 = 0.00000129258 mol * 139.93 g/mol

    Mass Y (OH) 3 = 0.00018087 grams

    Step 5: Calculate the solubility of Y (OH) 3 per liter

    The solubility of Y (OH) 3 is 0.00018087 grams in 0.55L

    Solubility of Y (OH) 3 = 1000/550 * 0.00018087 grams

    Solubility of Y (OH) 3 = 3.29 * 10^-4 g / L
