Question

Potassium sulfate has a solubility of 15 g/100 g water at 40°C. A solution is prepared by adding 47 g of potassium sulfate to 150 g of water, carefully heating the solution, and cooling it to 40°C. A homogeneous solution is obtained. Answer the following questions to determine whether the solution is saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated. How many grams of potassium sulfate would dissolve in 100 g of water to make a saturated solution?

Step 1

Given that the solubility is 15 g/100 g water, we can set up a proportion to find the solubility in 150 g of water. \[ \frac{15 \text{ g K}_2\text{SO}_4}{100 \text{ g water}} = \frac{x \text{ g K}_2\text{SO}_4}{150 \text{ g water}} \] Show more…
