Step-by-step solution for: Solubility Curve Worksheet Packet
Let's solve each question step by step using the solubility graph provided in the worksheet. Since I can't see the actual image, I'll assume a standard solubility curve that includes common substances like KCl, KNO₃, NaCl, CaCl₂, Pb(NO₃)₂, Ce₂(SO₄)₃, and K₂Cr₂O₇.
We will use typical values from a standard solubility graph (which is commonly used in textbooks). Here are the approximate solubilities at various temperatures:
| Substance | Solubility at 10°C | Solubility at 20°C | Solubility at 35°C | Solubility at 50°C | Solubility at 60°C | Solubility at 70°C | Solubility at 80°C |

We compare the given amount of solute to the solubility at that temperature.
#### 1. 60 g KCl at 70°C
- Solubility of KCl at 70°C ≈ 50 g/100g water

#### 9. At 10°C: saturated solution of KNO₃ or saturated solution of CaCl₂
- KNO₃ at 10°C ≈ 20 g/100g water
- CaCl₂ at 10°C ≈ 60 g/100g water
- So CaCl₂ is more concentrated
✔ Underline: saturated solution of CaCl₂
#### 10. At 50°C: saturated solution of KNO₃ or unsaturated solution of NaNO₃ with 90 g in 100 g water
- KNO₃ at 50°C ≈ 80 g/100g water → saturated = 80 g
- NaNO₃ at 50°C ≈ 110 g/100g water → so 90 g is unsaturated, but concentration = 90 g
- Compare:
- KNO₃ saturated: 80 g
- NaNO₃ unsaturated: 90 g
- 90 > 80 → NaNO₃ solution is more concentrated
✔ Underline: unsaturated solution of NaNO₃ consisting of 90 g dissolved in 100 g of water

- Left undissolved: 115 − 50 = 65 g
✔ Answer: 65 grams do not dissolve

- For 200 g water:
$$
\frac{51\ \text{g}}{100\ \text{g water}} \times 200\ \text{g water} = 102\ \text{g}
$$
