why does all the information available state that the maximum amount of table salt that can dissolve in water is: 36-39 g/100 ml @ 20 degrees Celsius. i put 35.7 g in 100 ml over a week ago, check it 3 times daily and a lot of it never dissolved. the water remained cloudy and when held to a light source you can clearly see plenty of crystals undissolved floating in suspension. you can also observe the suspended crystals chain together and fall to the bottom of the beaker. so why are we taught wrong information?
