The amount of solutes ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ in g of water at and in their saturated solutions are given below. Identify the correct statement from the following when hot saturated solutions of A, B and C are cooled slowly from to .
A | |||
B | |||
C |
g of B and g of C are precipitated.
Explanation of correct option:
As temperature decreases form to , of A will be precipitated. While going from to nothing will happen as the dissolved amount after precipitation ( ) is lower than the amount of saturated solution at ().
As temperature decreases form to , of B will be precipitated. While going from to another will be precipitated. So, a total of will be precipitated.
As temperature decreases form to , nothing will happen as solubility increases. While going from to of C will be precipitated.
So, a total of , , of A, B and C respectively will be precipitated in each case.
g of B and g of C are precipitated.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
