Question

7. A solution containing 90grams of KNO3 per 100. grams of H2O at

Answer 1

Answer:

(4) concentrated and supersaturated

Explanation:

At 50.°C, 90g of KNO3 lies above the solubility curve [on the Regents Reference Table G]. This indicates that the solution is supersaturated, meaning it contains more solute than will naturally dissolve, and was formed when a saturated solution cooled. Furthermore, the percent concentration of this solution is 90% KNO3 making this solution concentrated. This can be calculated using the formula for mass percent concentration.

Percent Mass = Mass of Solute (g) x 100
