How many grams of potassium chloride (KCl) can be dissolved in 68.0g of water at 40°C? Please help.

The problem provides you with the solubility of potassium chloride,

KCl

, in water at

20

∘

C

, which is said to be equal to

34 g / 100 g H

2

O

.

This means that at

20

∘

C

, a saturated solution of potassium chloride will contain

34 g

of dissolved salt for every

100 g

of water.

As you know, a saturated solution is a solution that holds the maximum amount of dissolved salt. Adding more solid to a saturated solution will cause the solid to remain undissolved.

In your case, you can create a saturated solution of potassium chloride by dissolving

34 g

of salt in

100 g

of water at

20

∘

C

.

Now, your goal here is to figure out how much potassium chloride can be dissolved in

300 g

of water at this temperature. To do that, use the given solubility as a conversion factor to take you from grams of salt to grams of water

300

=

102 g KCl

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the mass of water

Explanation:

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
