Solubility Rules PDF

The document outlines solubility rules for various ionic compounds. It states that Group 1 salts and ammonium compounds are soluble, as are most nitrates, acetates, chlorides, bromides and iodides except for certain silver, lead and mercury compounds. It notes that sulfates are soluble except for barium, strontium, lead, calcium, silver and mercury sulfates. Finally, it indicates that carbonates, hydroxides, oxides and phosphates are insoluble except those covered by the first rule. The accompanying table provides solubility data for over 100 specific ionic compounds.

Solubility Rules

1. All common salts of Group 1 elements and ammonium (NH41+) are soluble.
2. All common nitrates (NO31-) and acetates are soluble.
3. Most chlorides, bromides, and iodides are soluble except silver, lead (II), and
mercury (I)
4. All sulfates are soluble except barium, strontium, lead (II), calcium, silver, and
mercury (I)
5. Except for those in Rule 1, carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, and phosphates are
insoluble.

The table that follows sums ups solubility tests for over 100 ionic compounds.
Positive ions are listed at the left. Negative ions are listed across the top. To read the
table, start with a positive ion from the left column such as aluminum. As you read
across the aluminum row, data is given for the following compounds: aluminum
acetate (ss, slightly soluble), aluminum bromide (s, soluble), aluminum carbonate (not
exist, not known to exist), and so on. The “decomp” indicates that the compound
chemically reacts with water and decomposes.
