It 32g of potassium nitrate can be dissolved in 1cm3 of water at 20oC before a saturated solution is obtained, how much potassium nitrate would be able to dissolve in 5cm3 of water at the same temperature?

Answer:

160 gm

Step-by-step explanation:

Five times as much water means you can dissolve 5 times as much potassium nitrate 5 x 32 = 160 gm <===== this seems unlikely though as I doubt 32 g of potassium nitrate will dissolve in only 1 cm^3 of water 1 cm^3 of water is only 1 gm of water
