Question

The saturation temperature for 20.7g of CuSO4 soluble in water is:

• A. 100°C
• B. 1000°C
• C. 200°C
• D. 300°C

Hint:

The saturation temperature depends on the solubility of the solute at a given temperature. The higher the solubility, the higher the saturation temperature.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The saturation temperature for 20.7g of CuSO4 soluble in water is: 

• Option 1: 100°C - This is the correct answer. Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is known to be highly soluble in water, and at standard conditions, it dissolves in water at temperatures around 100°C. This is a typical saturation temperature for such solutes.
• Option 2: 1000°C - This is much too high and not the correct answer. Copper sulfate does not require such high temperatures to reach saturation.
• Option 3: 200°C - This temperature is still too high for the saturation of CuSO4 in water, making it an incorrect option.
• Option 4: 300°C - This is also not the correct saturation temperature for copper sulfate in water.

Explanation:

The saturation temperature refers to the temperature at which a given amount of solute (in this case, CuSO4) will dissolve completely in a solvent (water). For CuSO4, around 100°C is the typical saturation temperature, where the solute reaches its maximum solubility in water under normal conditions.
