If 30 grams of KCl is dissolved at 10°C, 14 g of KCl should be added to make a saturated solution at 60 °C.
<h3>What is a saturated solution?</h3>
A saturated solution is a solution in which there is so much solute that if there was any more, it would not dissolve. Its concentration is the same as the solubility at that temperature.
- Step 1. Calculate the mass of water.
At 10 °C, the solubility is 31.2 g KCl/100 g H₂O.
30 g KCl × 100 g H₂O/31.2 g KCl = 96 g H₂O
- Step 2. Calculate the mass of KCl required to prepare a saturated solution at 60 °C.
At 60 °C, the solubility is 45.8 g KCl/100 g H₂O.
96 g H₂O × 45.8 g KCl/100 g H₂O = 44 g KCl
- Step 3. Calculate the mass of KCl that must be added.
44 g - 30 g = 14 g
If 30 grams of KCl is dissolved at 10°C, 14 g of KCl should be added to make a saturated solution at 60 °C.
