Grade 12Physical ChemistryThe solubility of potassium chloride at 20 degree celsius is 34.7g in 100g of water.The density of the solution is 1.3g/ml.What is the w/v percentage of potassium chloride in the solution Sandeep Trivedi 12 Years agoGrade 12
KaushikApproved Tutor Answer12 Years agolet volume of the solution be v density=(34.7+100)/v = 1.3 134.7=1.3v v=134.7/1.3 ml %w/v=mass of KCl in 100 ml of solution. 134.7/1.3 ml contains 34.7 g of KCl. 100 ml contains:(100 x 34.7 x 1.3)/134.7=33.49%
