SUMMARY

The solubility of Barium Nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) at 100°C is 34g per 100g of water, while at 0°C it is only 5g per 100g of water. Starting with 100g of Ba(NO3)2 in a saturated solution at 100°C and cooling it to 0°C results in the crystallization of 29g of Ba(NO3)2. This calculation accounts for the solubility limits at both temperatures and the additional 4g of water carried by the crystals.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solubility principles
  • Knowledge of crystallization processes
  • Familiarity with temperature effects on solubility
  • Basic algebra for solving equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the solubility product constant (Ksp) for Ba(NO3)2
  • Learn about the effects of temperature on solubility
  • Explore crystallization techniques in chemistry
  • Study the concept of supersaturation in solutions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and laboratory technicians involved in crystallization experiments and solubility studies.

Homework Statement


Given solubility of Ba(NO3)2 is
34g/100 H20 at 100oC
5g/100g of H20 AT 0oC
if one starts with 100g of (BaNO3)2 and make a saturated solution in water at 100oC, and then cooled to 0oC, how much Ba(NO3)2 is crystallised out of solution?
The resultant crystals carry along with them on surface 4g of H20 per 100g of the crystals.

The Attempt at a Solution


Initial the concentrated solution would be 100g/300g H20 if i do not calculate wrongly.
then how should i proceed?

You have 100g/300g initially. Once you cool down the solution - amount of water won't change, amount of dissolved salt will. How much salt will be dissolved in 300g of water at 0ºC?
