A saturated solution of potassium nitrate (KNO₃) contains 31.6 g KNO₃ per 100 g water at 20 °C and 109 g KNO₃ per 100 g water at 60 °C. A student prepares 250 g of the solution at 20 °C, then heats it to 60 °C and adds solid KNO₃ until the solution becomes saturated at 60 °C. (i) How many grams of additional KNO₃ can dissolve? (ii) What is the mass percent of KNO₃ in the final saturated solution at 60 °C?

Answer Options

A. Additional KNO₃ = 160 g; final mass percent KNO₃ = 55.0 %
Correct Answer B. Additional KNO₃ = 147 g; final mass percent KNO₃ = 52.2 %
C. Additional KNO₃ = 100 g; final mass percent KNO₃ = 45.0 %
D. Additional KNO₃ = 130 g; final mass percent KNO₃ = 48.5 %
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Additional KNO₃ = 147 g; final mass percent KNO₃ = 52.2 %
