A geochemist in the field takes a small sample of the

A geochemist in the field takes a small sample of the crystals of mineral compound X from a rock pool lined with more crystals of X. He notes the temperature of the pool, 18.° C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist dissolves the crystals in 2.00 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 0.10 kg. Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 18.º C? If you said yes, calculate it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and 2 significant digits. yes 0 no 0.0 X μ 00 ?
