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. Correctly name all of the ionic compounds listed above as the anion and cation sources.Explanation / Answer
Salts constituting Na+ as cation are soluble in water. The list of anion sources mentioned in above list contain sodium as cation, thus they are soluble.
Salts constituing NO3- as anion are soluble in water. The list of cation sources mentioned in above list contain nitrate as anion, thus they are soluble.
NaCl - Sodium Chloride
NaI - Sodium Iodide
Na2SO4 - Sodium Sulphate
Na2CO3 - Sodium Carbonate
NaOH - Sodium Hydroxide
Na3PO4 - Sodium Phosphate
NH4NO3 - Ammonium Nitrate
AgNO3 - Silver Nitrate
Ba(NO3)2 - Barium Nitrate
Sr(NO3)2 - Strontium Nitrate
Pb(NO3)2 - Lead Nitrate
KNO3 - Potassium Nitrate
Ni(NO3)2 - Nickel Nitrate
Cu(NO3)2 - Cupric Nitrate
