The solubility of potassium nitrate (KNO\(_3\)) is 31.6 g per 100 g water at 20 °C and 56.0 g per 100 g water at 60 °C. Assuming the enthalpy of solution is constant over this temperature range, calculate the enthalpy change \(\Delta H_{\text{sol}}\) (in kJ·mol\(^{-1}\)). Use the van't Hoff equation \(\ln\frac{K_2}{K_1}= -\frac{\Delta H}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}\right)\) with \(R = 8.314\) J·mol\(^{-1}\)·K\(^{-1}\). Give your answer to two significant figures.

Answer Options

A. 20 kJ·mol⁻¹
Correct Answer B. 12 kJ·mol⁻¹
C. 15 kJ·mol⁻¹
D. 10 kJ·mol⁻¹
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
12 kJ·mol⁻¹
