Solubility of Barium Fluoride Concepts

The video explores the solubility of Barium Fluoride (BaF2) in water. Initially, the solubility rules are examined, but they do not provide clear guidance for BaF2. The video then refers to a solubility table, which indicates that BaF2 is slightly soluble. This means some of it will dissolve in water, but not a significant amount. In net ionic equations, slightly soluble compounds are treated as insoluble. The video concludes by confirming that BaF2 is slightly soluble in water.

What is the main challenge in determining the solubility of BaF2 using general solubility rules?

• Fluoride ion compounds have inconsistent solubility.

• Barium is not listed in the rules.

• BaF2 is always soluble.

• The rules only apply to organic compounds.

What does the solubility table indicate about the solubility of Barium Fluoride?

• It is not listed in the table.

• It is slightly soluble.

• It is highly soluble.

• It is completely insoluble.

How does Barium form ions according to the solubility table?

• With no ionic charge.

• With a one plus ionic charge.

• With a two plus ionic charge.

• With a three plus ionic charge.

What is the charge of the fluoride ion as shown in the solubility table?

• F2-

• F3-

• F+

• F-

How are slightly soluble compounds treated in net ionic equations?

• As insoluble compounds.

• As liquids.

• As gases.

• As soluble compounds.

Based on the solubility chart, how would you classify BaF2 in water?

• Highly soluble

• Slightly soluble

• Insoluble

• Not applicable
