An empty evaporating dish weighs 20.0g. After adding saturated solution of NaNO3, the dish weighs 66.0g. When evaporated to dryness the dish with crystals weighs 41.5g. Find the solubility of NaNO3 at 200C.
87.7 g
Weight of saturated solution of NaNO3 = (66.0 – 20.0) g = 46.0g
Weight of crystals of NaNO3 = (41.5 - 20.0) g = 21.5g
Weight of water in saturated solution = (46.0 - 21.5) g = 24.5g
Solubility of NaNO3 = Weight of NaNO3 crystalWeight of water×100
=21.524.5×100⇒87.7g
