Chapter 13 Problem 33P

Question

A KNO3 solution containing \(45 g\) of KNO3 per \(100 g\) of water is cooled from \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What happens during cooling? (See Figure \(13.4\).)

Figure \(13.4\) Solubility of some ionic solids as a function of temperature

Solution

Step 1 of 2

The solubility of a solid in a solution is dependent on temperature. Thus the solubility of most solids in water increases with increasing temperature.

From the figure 1., it is observed the solubility of  at   is 62 g per 100 g of water whereas the solubility of  at  is 12 g per 100 g of water. Thus, a  solution containing 45 g of KCl per 100 g of water is cooled at  forms unsaturated solution.
