Answer to Question #268907 in General Chemistry for vana

Question

Potassium chloride has a solubility of 43g of KCl in 100g of H₂O at 50^oC. Determine if adding 90g of KCl to 155g of water will form a saturated or unsaturated s.olution

Answer 1

Proportion:

90 g – 155 g

x – 100 g

$x = \frac{90 \times 100}{155} = 58.0 \;g$

58.0 g > 43.0 g

So, solution will be saturated.
