I boiled the water added it to the beaker full of KNO3 and then heated it until it was disolved, I then filtered it, put it in the fridge and after a
bit put it on a paper towel to dry (I didn't discard any of the leftover water because there really wasn't much) .
But here's the thing: I started with 120g of KNO3 but after recrystallizing I only had 50! I was expecting a loss of maximum 20% and
now I'm wondering where it all went.
EDIT: I should add that I am using a paper towel as a filter so that might have absorbed a bit of the solution, but still not that much. Also I am new
to this forum: can someone explain why whimsy is blocked? Are there any special requirements to be able to get access to it?
