Gilberto Baird · Answer 1

Solubility is a chemical property referring to the ability for a given substance, the solute, to dissolve in a solvent. It has units of grams of the substance per grams of solvent. We calculate the mass as follows:

311 g AgNO3 / 100 g water (350 g water) = 1088.5 g AgNO3

It can be rounded of to 1100 g of AgNO3. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
