inorganic chemistry - Making a saturated solution of Na₂CO₃



I need to make a saturated solution of NaX2COX3 and according to the available data I should add 22 g in 100 ml of water at 25 C.


I wanted to make 300 ml solution, which would require 66 g. But, even after adding 110 g of the salt, no turbidity appears which might indicate saturation. So I believe that the solution is still not saturated.


However, when I kept the flask overnight, almost the entire salt precipitated out in large crystalline chunks. I am a bit confused as to what the problem might be. Has anyone faced this kind of trouble?
