Refer to the graph below. In order to have a saturated solution, how many grams of potassium nitrate, KNO3, need to be dissolved in 100 grams of water at 20°C. Select the closest measurement. A.60 B.100 C.30 D.20

C. 30.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the solubility, as the maximum amount of a solute that can be completely dissolved in a solvent without the formation of a precipitate, we can see that at the vertical line of 20 °C, on the KNO3 curve, we can see an intercept at about 30.

Such 30 means that just 30 grams of KNO3 will be completely dissolved in 100 g of water at 20°C, by means of its temperature dependent solubility; and therefore the answer is C. 30.
