Science
Pragya tested the solubility of three different substances at different temperatures and collected the data as given below (results are given in the following table, as grams of a substance dissolved in 100 grams of water to form a saturated solution).
| Substance Dissolved | Temperature in K | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 283 | 293 | 313 | 333 | 353 | |
| Solubility | |||||
| Potassium nitrate | 21 | 32 | 62 | 106 | 167 |
| Sodium chloride | 36 | 36 | 36 | 37 | 37 |
| Potassium chloride | 35 | 35 | 40 | 46 | 54 |
| Ammonium chloride | 24 | 37 | 41 | 55 | 66 |
