What is the solubility of potassium nitrate in water? And how is #"solubility"# defined?

Answer 1

#"Solubility"# #=# #"Moles (or mass) of solute"/"Volume of solution"#

Typically we report a solubility in #mol*L^-1# or #g*L^-1#, and nitrate salts are exceptionally soluble. This site reports a solubility of #316*g*L^-1# at #20# #""^@C#.

The solubility of potassium nitrate in water is approximately 13.3 g/100 mL at 20°C. Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure to form a homogeneous solution.

Xavier Avery

The solubility of potassium nitrate in water is approximately 13.3 grams per 100 milliliters of water at 20°C.

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure to form a saturated solution. It is typically expressed in grams of solute per 100 milliliters of solvent or in moles per liter of solution.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
