Solubility and Ionic Compounds

This video tutorial explains how to use the solubility table to determine if substances are soluble in water. It covers the solubility of common compounds like sodium chloride, calcium nitrate, calcium sulfate, copper II hydroxide, and calcium oxide. The video also discusses solubility patterns and rules, providing insights into predicting solubility and reactions in water.

What is the primary purpose of the solubility table?

• To determine the melting point of substances

• To predict if substances will dissolve in water

• To calculate the molecular weight of compounds

• To measure the density of substances

Which ions are found on the left side of the solubility table?

• Polyatomic ions

• Anions

• Cations

• Neutral atoms

What does the 'S' symbol indicate on the solubility table?

• The substance is insoluble

• The substance is slightly soluble

• The substance is soluble in water

• The substance is solid

What does 'aqueous' mean in the context of solubility?

• The substance is dissolved in water

• The substance is a gas

• The substance is a solid

• The substance is insoluble

How is a slightly soluble compound represented in net ionic equations?

• As a solid

• As an aqueous solution

• As a liquid

• As a gas

What does the 'I' symbol represent on the solubility table?

• The substance will react

• The substance is slightly soluble

• The substance is soluble

• The substance is insoluble

What happens when calcium oxide is added to water?

• It evaporates

• It reacts to form new substances

• It remains unchanged

• It dissolves completely

Which of the following is generally soluble according to solubility rules?

• Sulfates

• Nitrates

• Carbonates

• Phosphates

What is a common characteristic of ammonium compounds in terms of solubility?

• They are usually insoluble

• They are usually soluble

• They are usually gases

• They are usually solids

What should you do if a compound is not listed in the solubility table?

• Ignore it

• Consult a larger solubility table

• Assume it is soluble

• Assume it is insoluble
