The solubility of potassium nitrate (KNO_{3}) in water 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, (i) calculate the enthalpy change of solution \Delta H_{sol} (in kJ mol^{-1}, to two significant figures). (ii) Estimate the solubility at 80 °C (in g per 100 g water, to two significant figures) using the van't Hoff equation.

Answer Options

A. 14 kJ mol^{-1}; 77 g per 100 g water
Correct Answer B. 12 kJ mol^{-1}; 71 g per 100 g water
C. 9.5 kJ mol^{-1}; 66 g per 100 g water
D. 11 kJ mol^{-1}; 69 g per 100 g water
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
12 kJ mol^{-1}; 71 g per 100 g water
