Graphing Calculator Predicting Solubility from Tabular Data The graphing calculator can run a programthat graphs solubility data. Given solubility measurements for KCl, you will use the data to predict its solubility at various temperatures. Go to Appendix C. If you are using a TI-83 Plus, you can download the program and data sets and run the application as directed. Press the APPS key on your calculator, then choose the application CHEMAPPS. Press 3 then highlight ALL on the screen, press 1 , then highlight LOAD and press 2 to load the data into your calculator. Press the keys 2nd and then QUIT, and then run the program $\mathrm{SOLUBIL}$ . For $\mathrm{L}_{1}$ press 2nd and LIST and choose SOL21. If you are using another calculator, your teacher will provide you with keystrokes and data sets to use. $$\begin{array}{l}{\text { a.
