Question #3fc1b

Answer 1

Ammonium nitrate, `NH_4NO_3`, is highly soluble in water. Even at `0^@"C"`, you can dissolve more than 100 g of ammonium nitrate in 100 g of water.

In this solubility diagram, ammonium nitrate is represented by a `color(purple)("purple line")`. As you can see, its solubility increases significantly with an increase in temperature.

At `30^@"C"`, you can dissolve close to 250 g of ammonium nitrate in 100 g of water. At `70^@"C"`, you can dissolve close to 470 g per 100 g of water.
