Key concepts
3 concepts
- 1
A solubility table helps determine if a compound is soluble (aqueous) or insoluble (solid).
- 2
Group 1 metals, ammonium, nitrate, and acetate are generally soluble with no exceptions.
- 3
Halogens are typically soluble, except when combined with silver, lead, or mercury, which makes them insoluble.
