A study of the variation of solubility with temperature yielded the following experimental results:
Table: Variation of solubility with temperature in grams per 100 grams of water

Salt 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C 50°C 60°C
KBr 59.5 62.2 70.6 35.5 80.2 95.0
K2SO4 9.2 11.1 13.0 14.8 16.5 21.4
NaCl 35.8 36.0 36.3 36.6 37.0 38.4
NaNO3 80.0 88.0 96.0 104.0 114.0 148.0
Ce2(SO4) 11.0 9.0 4.0 3.5 2.0 1.9

From the data given above answer the following question:

Which salt showed the greatest increase in solubility as the temperature rise from 10°C to 60°C?
