Determining Solubility of Compounds

Front

What is solubility?

Back

Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a solvent, forming a solution.

Front

What are solubility rules?

Back

Solubility rules are guidelines that help predict whether a compound will dissolve in water.

Front

Is KBr soluble or insoluble?

Back

KBr is soluble.

Front

What is a precipitate?

Back

A precipitate is a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture during a chemical reaction.

Front

Which product is the precipitate in the reaction: Sr(CN)2 + CaSO4 → Ca(CN)2 + SrSO4?

Back

The precipitate is SrSO4.

Front

Which product is the precipitate in the reaction: MgCl2 + K2CO3 → 2NaCl + MgCO3?

Back

The precipitate is MgCO3.

Front

Are chlorates (ClO3-) always soluble?

Back

Yes, chlorates are always soluble.

Front

What is the solubility of perchlorates (ClO4-)?

Back

Perchlorates are always soluble.

Front

Which product is the precipitate in the reaction: NaCl + AgNO3 → NaNO3 + AgCl?

Back

The precipitate is AgCl.

Front

What does it mean if a compound is soluble?

Back

If a compound is soluble, it means it can dissolve in a solvent, typically water.
