Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Solubility Rules WS - Alicia Barrett | Library | Formative
To solve the problem, we need to use solubility rules to determine whether each compound is soluble (aq) or insoluble/solid (s). Here are the general solubility rules:

1. Salts of alkali metals (Group 1) and ammonium (NH₄⁺) are generally soluble.
2. Nitrates (NO₃⁻) are generally soluble.
3. Chlorides (Cl⁻) are generally soluble, except for AgCl, PbCl₂, and Hg₂Cl₂.
4. Sulfates (SO₄²⁻) are generally soluble, except for BaSO₄, PbSO₄, and CaSO₄ (slightly soluble).
5. Hydroxides (OH⁻) are generally insoluble, except for those of alkali metals and Ba(OH)₂, Sr(OH)₂, and Ca(OH)₂ (slightly soluble).
6. Carbonates (CO₃²⁻) are generally insoluble, except for those of alkali metals and NH₄⁺.
7. Sulfides (S²⁻) are generally insoluble, except for those of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and NH₄⁺.
8. Chromates (CrO₄²⁻) and phosphates (PO₄³⁻) are generally insoluble, except for those of alkali metals and NH₄⁺.
