80°C is 20.8 grams, and the maximum amount of potassium nitrate that can be dissolved in 10 mL of water at 80°C is 16.9 grams. a. How much potassium nitrate could you dissolve in 25 milliliters of water at 60°C based on the data in the table above? (Hint: use the solubility as a conversion factor in the calculation.) b. Could you dissolve 3.0 grams of potassium nitrate in 5 milliliters of water at 60°C? Indicate Yes or No.

3. Solubility data for copper(II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) and potassium nitrate (KNO3) at
different temperatures is shown below. The values are for grams of compound per 10
milliliters of water.

Remember that the solubility of a compound refers the maximum amount of compound
that can be dissolved in a particular solvent at a particular temperature. So for example,
the maximum amount of copper(II) nitrate that can be dissolved in 10 mL of water at
80°C is 20.8 grams, and the maximum amount of potassium nitrate that can be
dissolved in 10 mL of water at 80°C is 16.9 grams.
a. How much potassium nitrate could you dissolve in 25 milliliters of water at 60°C
based on the data in the table above? (Hint: use the solubility as a conversion factor in
the calculation.)
b. Could you dissolve 3.0 grams of potassium nitrate in 5 milliliters of water at 60°C?
Indicate Yes or No.
Explain your answer below.

You will isolate the precipitated potassium nitrate using suction filtration. Suction
filtration will allow you to dry your sample before weighing. You will be able to calculate
the percent recovery of the potassium nitrate since you will know the amount you
added to create the mixture of solids and the amount that you recover. The formula you
will use to calculate the percent recovery is as follows.
Amount of potassium nitrate collected after precipitation (Part B)
Amount of potassium nitrate used to create the mixture of solids (Part A)'
x 100 = Percent recovery
Materials Needed
Potassium nitrate (14 grams per student)
• Copper(II) nitrate (4 grams per student)
• 0.5 M Nitric acid (10 mL per student)
• Filter flask (one per student)
• Büchner funnel (one per student)
• Fiter paper for Büchner funnel (one piece per student)
• Vacuum tubing
• Hot plate
• Ice
Procedure
A. Preparation of the solid mixture
1. Place a clean 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask on a balance and zero (tare) the balance.
Add 14 grams of potassium nitrate (KNO3) to the flask. Add the potassium nitrate to the
flask in small amounts so you don't add too much and so that you don't spill the
potassium nitrate on the balance pan. You don't have to add exactly 14 grams of
potassium nitrate to the flask, but add as close to 14 grams as you can. Enter the
amount of potassium nitrate that you add to the flask on your data sheet. Keep the flask
on the balance and proceed to the next step (Step 2).
2. Zero (tare) the balance with the flask containing the potassium nitrate on the balance.
Add 4 grams of copper(II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) to the flask. Add the copper(II) nitrate in
small amounts as you did when adding the potassium nitrate. You don't have to add
exactly 4 grams of copper(II) nitrate to the flask, but add as close to 4 grams as you
can. Enter the amount of copper(II) nitrate that you add to the flask on your data sheet.
