Name the following
The liquid or medium of dissolution which allows the solute to dissolve in it.
If ‘X’ g. of potassium nitrate is added to 100 g. of water at 60°C and the salt dissolves completely then :
(a) is ‘X’ g. the solubility of potassium nitrate at 60°C.
(b) is the solution formed – saturated or unsaturated
(c) if on addition ‘X’ + ‘Y’ g. of potassium nitrate to the same amount of water at the same temperature and the solute now just remains behind after stirring then –
(d) is the solution now – saturated or unsaturated
(e) is ‘X’ + ‘Y’ g. the solubility of potassium nitrate.
