The solubility of potassium Chloride at 20 degree C is 34.7 g in 100 gm of water. The density of the solution is 1.3 g/ml. What is the w/V % of potassium chloride in the solution? Please give the explanation.
Dear Student,
Total mass of solution = mass of KCl + mass of water
= (34.7 + 100)g = 134.7g
Volume of solution = mass of solution ÷ density of solution
= 134.7 ÷ 1.3 = 103.62 ml
So, w/ V% of KCl = (mass of KCl ÷ volume of solution) × 100
= (34.7 ÷ 103.62) × 100
=33.49% (w/V)
Hope! This explanation helps you.
