Waec Model Questions Vol1 2024 Chemistry Question 8

A solubility experiment for silver chloride (AgCl) was carried out as follows: - 250 mL of distilled water was placed in a beaker (labelled A) and the beaker was positioned on a water‑bath (labelled B) set to maintain a temperature of 60 °C. The density of water at this temperature is 0.983 g mL⁻¹. - A thermometer (C) was inserted into the beaker to monitor the temperature. - Excess solid AgCl (2.00 g) was added to the water and the mixture was stirred with a glass rod (D) until no further dissolution was observed. - The suspension was filtered using a filter funnel (E) fitted with filter paper (F). The filtrate was collected in a clean container. - The undissolved solid retained on the filter paper was transferred to a pre‑weighed weighing dish (G) and dried. The mass of the dried solid was recorded as 0.500 g on an analytical balance (H). - After filtration, the volume of the clear saturated solution was measured as 240 mL. The diagram of the apparatus is provided. Using the information above, answer the following questions:
