Solubility and Properties of Ionic Compounds

The video explores the reaction of silver chloride (AgCl) with water, highlighting its ionic nature. It explains that while ionic compounds often dissolve in water, AgCl is an exception. The video demonstrates how to use a solubility table to confirm that AgCl is insoluble in water, resulting in no reaction when mixed with water. The conclusion emphasizes that AgCl remains solid in water.
