Page 2This is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in water at 313K. The solution is saturated at that temperature. Mass KNO3 = 62/2 = 31g . KNO3 soluble in 50g H2O at 313K.
> 3 Solubility of potassium nitrate at 313K = 62/100 100 g of water contains potassium nitrate = 62 g 50 g of water contains potassium nitrate = 62/100 X 50 = 31g Thus, 31 g potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in 50 g of water at 313 K. |
