Answer:

The concentration of a saturated solution of potassium chloride that is prepared by dissolving 45 g KCl in 100.0 g water at 60 degrees Celsius can be calculated as follows:

Find the total mass of the solution:

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 45 g KCl + 100.0 g water

Mass of solution = 145.0 g

Calculate the mass percent of KCl in the solution:

Mass percent = (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) x 100%

Mass percent = (45 g KCl / 145.0 g solution) x 100%

Mass percent = 31.03%

Therefore, the concentration of the saturated solution of potassium chloride is 31.03% by mass at 60 degrees Celsius.
