Dear Student,

Solubility is taken as the amount of solute that can be dissolved in 100 g of solvent. 


Thus 100 g of water dissolves 40g KCl 
therefore, 50 g of water will dissolve (40/100) × 50 = 20g of KCl 

Now, 20g of KCl is required to form a saturated solution in 50g of water.

When a saturated solution of potassium chloride is cooled, the solubility potassium chloride in water decreased. As a result the amount of potassium chloride which exceeds its solubility at lower temperature separates out as crystals.

Hey!

The solution is as follows :

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.

Hope it helped to clear your delimma

Thank you

Text Solution

Solution : (a) Mass of potassium chloride in 100 g of water in saturated solution = 46 g <br> Mass of potassium chloride in 50 g of water in saturated solution = `((46 g))/((100 g)) xx (50g) = 23 g` <br> (b) When the solution is cooled, the solubility of salt in water will decrease. This means that upon cooling, it will start separating from the solution in crystalline form.
