All 6 cards in this deck

Which salts are always soluble in water?

All common sodium, potassium and ammonium salts, and all nitrates.

What is the solubility rule for common chlorides?

All are soluble except silver chloride and lead chloride.

What is the solubility rule for common sulfates?

All are soluble except lead, barium and calcium sulfate.

What is the solubility rule for common carbonates and hydroxides?

They are insoluble except those of sodium, potassium and ammonium.

True or false? Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water.

True. Carbonates are insoluble except sodium, potassium and ammonium carbonate.

True or false? Silver nitrate is insoluble in water.

False. All nitrates are soluble — it is silver chloride that is insoluble.
