The solubility of KNO3 (potassium nitrate) in water increases with temperature. We can use a solubility table or chart to find the solubility of KNO3 in water at 60 degrees Celsius. According to such a table, the solubility of KNO3 in water at 60 degrees Celsius is approximately 97 grams per 100 grams of water.
To determine how much KNO3 will dissolve in 35 grams of water at 60 degrees Celsius, we can set up a proportion:
97 g / 100 g = x g / 35 g
where x is the amount of KNO3 that will dissolve in 35 grams of water.
Solving for x, we get:
x = (97 g / 100 g) * 35 g
x ≈ 33.95 g
Therefore, approximately 33.95 grams of KNO3 will dissolve in 35 grams of water at 60 degrees Celsius.
