Question 7
At 30°C, 45 g of KNO3 dissolved in 100 g of water gives a saturated solution. What is the solubility of KNO3 in water at that temperature? [Ans. 45]
Answer
Mass of solute = 45 g
Mass of solvent = 100 g
The solubility of KNO3 in water at 30°C can be calculated as follows:
Solubility = {45\over 100}×100 = 45
Therefore, the solubility of KNO3 in water at 30°C is 45.
