The answer is (2) KNO3. This depends on the solubility of these four compounds at 10℃. For NaCl, it is 35.8 g, For NaNO3, 80.8 g. KCl, 31.2 g. KNO3, 21.9g. So only KNO3 is less than 25.0 g.
Answer: C. growth
Explanation: because why not
The Lewis structures for formate ion and carbon dioxide are shown in the attached pictures. As you can see, the formate ion consists of one C=O bond and one C-O bond, while carbon dioxide has two C=O bonds. Double bonds are weaker, hence, longer compared to single bonds. Therefore, the C-O bonds in the formate ion is shorter than those in carbon dioxide.
