He notes the temperature of the pool, 17.° C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist dissolves the crystals in 4.00 L of distilled water. He then filters this solution and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 0.080 kg. Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 17.° C ? If you said yes, calculate it.
