Solubility of Sodium Sulfate

The video explores the solubility of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) in water. It discusses three methods to determine solubility: using solubility rules, consulting a solubility chart, and conducting a practical test by dissolving the compound in water. Sodium sulfate is confirmed to be soluble in water, dissociating into sodium and sulfate ions. The video emphasizes understanding solubility rules and charts to predict compound behavior in solutions.
