What is the mass of potassium chloride that will dissolve in 250 g of water at 70 degrees Celsius

Answer 1

Solubility of KCl in 70C water is about 47 g/100g water. Thus in 250 grams of water, you should be able to dissolve about 117.5 grams KCl.

Answer 2

If you want to know the maximum mass of KCl that will dissolve in water at 70°C, you need to know the solubility of KCl in water at that temperature. Let's suppose that X g of KCl can dissolve in 1 kg of water at 70°C, then the number of grams of KCl that can dissolve in 250 g water at 70°C is given by:

X gm KCl / 1 Kg H2O • 1Kg H2O/1000g H2O • 250 g H2O

the units gm H2O and Kg H2O cancel, and you are left with gm KCl.
