Verified step by step guidance

Identify the solubility of KNO\_3 at 10 °C from the solubility data, which is typically given in grams of KNO\_3 per 100 grams of water. For example, if the solubility is 6.0 g per 100 g of water, this means 6.0 g of KNO\_3 can dissolve in 100 g of water at 10 °C.

Set up a proportion to find out how many grams of KNO\_3 can dissolve in 50 g of water. Use the formula: $\frac{\text{grams of KNO}_3}{\text{grams of water}} = \frac{\text{solubility at 10 °C}}{100}$.

Plug in the known values into the proportion: $\frac{x}{50} = \frac{\text{solubility at 10 °C}}{100}$, where $x$ is the grams of KNO\_3 that can dissolve in 50 g of water.

Solve for $x$ by multiplying both sides by 50: $x = 50 \times \frac{\text{solubility at 10 °C}}{100}$.

Interpret the result to determine the approximate grams of KNO\_3 that can dissolve in 50 g of water at 10 °C, and compare it to the given options to select the correct answer.
