Solution

100 g water can dissolve a maximum of 62 g of potassium nitrate at 313 K.
So, 1 g of water would dissolve a maximum of 62/100 g of potassium nitrate at 313 K.
[1 Mark]

Maximum amount of potassium nitrate that can be dissolved in 50 g of water at 313 K
= (62/100) x 50 g
= 31 g potassium nitrate .

So, 31 g of potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in 50 grams of water at 313 K.
