Question
What can you predict about the solubility of other compounds based on the trends observed above? Make observations of all the possible cation/anion combinations, remembering that clarity of language reduces confusion in communicating your observations. Note specifically that "clear" and "colorless" have two distinct meanings. After you have devised solubility rules, you will predict and then test the behavior of additional ion combinations supplied by your instructor. Pre-Lab Assignment Correctly name all of the ionic compounds listed above as the anion and cation sources.Explanation / Answer
Looking at the cation and anion sources, it can be easily observed that all the strong bases dissociate ( here, NaOH) and neutralize with acids to form salts which are anions sources. SO, a prediction can be made which is that: all the strong bases are from anion sources.
Similarly, all strong acids neutralise to give salts from cationic sources. Hence, all strong acids are from cation sources.
