A chemistry student weighs out 13.0 g of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 100. mL of distilled water at 29.° C. After 10 minutes of stirring, all of the X has dissolved. Just to be sure, the student adds a further 4. mg of X to the solution, and it, too, dissolves. Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 29.° C?

a. yes

b. no

If you said yes, calculate it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the right number of significant digits.
