Solubility Rules

What is the general rule for solubility of salts containing Group 1 metals?

• Highly soluble

• Partially soluble

• Insoluble

• Soluble

Which common anion forms soluble salts with all cations except silver, lead, and mercury(I)?

• Nitrate (NO3-)

• Carbonate (CO3^2-)

• Chloride (Cl-)

• Sulfate (SO4^2-)

What is the solubility rule for sulfates?

• All sulfates are insoluble

• Most sulfates are soluble, except for sulfates of barium, strontium, lead, and calcium.

• Sulfates dissolve in water only on Sundays

• Sulfates are only soluble in acidic solutions

Which common anion forms insoluble salts with all cations except Group 1 metals and ammonium?

• Nitrate ion (NO3-)

• Sulfate ion (SO4^2-)

• Chloride ion (Cl-)

• Carbonate ion (CO3^2-)

What is the solubility rule for carbonates and phosphates?

• Soluble only in acidic solutions

• Soluble in all cases

• Insoluble except for alkali metals and ammonium

• Insoluble except for transition metals

Which common anion forms soluble salts except with calcium, strontium, and barium?

• nitrate (NO3-)

• chloride (Cl-)

• sulfate (SO4^2-)

• phosphate (PO4^3-)

What is the solubility rule for hydroxides?

• All hydroxides are soluble in water

• Hydroxides of transition metals are always soluble

• Hydroxides of nonmetals are highly soluble

• Most hydroxides are insoluble except for those of group 1 and some group 2 elements.

Which common anion forms insoluble salts with all cations except Group 1 metals, ammonium, and calcium?
