KNO3 or potassium nitrate is an ionic molecule that dissociates as K+ and NO3-
Problem is asking which solvent will produce more concentration of K+ and NO3-. Recall that ionic compounds are highly soluble to polar solvents
Which gives the more concentrated solution, (a) KNO3 in H2O or (b) KNO3 in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)? Explain.
