Which salt is more soluble sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate


Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 331 People


Comparing potassium nitrate (KNO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl), which chemical's solubility (in water) is most affected by change in temperature?

A. potassium nitrate
B. sodium chloride
C. same variation
D. impossible to tell

Answered by admin @



Answer:

A. potassium nitrate

Explanation:

A change in temperature generally increases the solubility of solutes in solutions.

To solve this typical problem, its best to use the solubility curve which shows the solubility of different compounds in water.

Find the curve attached below;

We can see that with increasing temperature, the solubility of potassium nitrate increases the most with increasing temperature.

The solubility of sodium chloride rarely changes with an increase in temperature.
