In the solubility curve above, water at 98\(^0\)C is saturated with KCl and KCIO\(_3\). What is the percentage of KCl impurity in the crystals formed when the solution is cooled to 30\(^0\)C?

  • A. 51.5
  • B. 45.5
  • C. 34.5

Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

From the graph, when you try to extrapolate the temperature to the solubility value of both KCl and KCIO\(_3\), we'll arrive at the following data:

                    KCl           KClO\(_3\)

@ 98\(^0\)C

                  55                55

@ 30\(^0\)C

                  37                  5
Difference                  18                50

Total weight dissolved in 100g of water =  18 + 50 = 68g

% KCl impurity = \(\frac{weight of KCl}{Total weight}\times 100\)

                        = \(\frac{18}{68}\times 100\)

                        = 26.47

                        = 26.5%
