The solubility, in moles per dm3 of 20.2 g of potassium trioxonitrate (V) dissolve in 100 g of the resulting mixture is?

(K = 39, O = 16, N =14).
0.10
0.20
1.00
2.00

Explanation

Given:

Mass of KNO\(_3\) = 20.2g

Volume of solvent = 100g

Molar Mass of KNO\(_3\) = 39 + 14 + (16 x 3) = 101g/mol

Solubility = \(\frac{mass}{Molar mass}\) X  \(\frac{1000}{Volume of solvent}\)

 =  \(\frac{20.2}{101}\) X  \(\frac{1000}{100}\)

 = 2.00 moldm\(^{-3}\)
