From the diagram above, find the amount of solute deposited when 200 cm33 of the solution is cooled from 55°C to 40°C.

A.

0.10 mole

B.

0.20mole

C.

0.01 mole

D.

0.02 mole

Correct answer is B

From the diagram,

55°C = 7 moles; 40°C = 6 moles.

Amount of solute deposited = 7 - 6 = 1 mole.

1000 cm\(^3\) = 1 mole

200 cm\(^3\) = x

x = \(\frac{200 \times 1}{1000}\)

= 0.20 mole.
