Answer:

90 g/100 g water

Explanation:

I’m guessing that “they” are asking you to interpret a solubility curve something like the one below.

Find the point at 50 °C on the horizontal axis.

From there, draw a vertical line until it meets the solubility curve of KNO₃.

Then, draw a horizontal line to the solubility axis.

It appears to hit the axis at about 90 g/100 g water.

Thus, the solubility of KNO₃ at 50 °C is 90 g/100 g water.
