At 50 degrees C, the solubility of NaNO, is 114 g/100g of water.?

Question

How many grams of NaNO3 are needed to make a saturated NaNO3 solution with 50 g of water at 50 degrees C?

Answer 1

Just use ratio and proportion for this one.

114 g NaNO3 / 100 g H2O = g NaNO3 / 50 g H2O

g NaNO3 = (114 g NaNO3 / 100 g H2O) x 50 g H2O

g NaNO3 = 57g

Answer: 57 grams

Answer 2

Dude, this is a really elementary question, if 100g of water will dissolve 114 grams then half that amount of water will dissolve half that amount of NaNO3; 57g
