Table 7.1: General Rules for Solubility of Ionic NH4+ ammonium PO33- phosphite

Compounds (Salts) in Water at 25 ℃ NO2- nitrite CO32- carbonate

1. Most nitrate (NO3-) salts are soluble. NO3- nitrate HCO3- hydrogen carbonate
(bicarbonate is a widely used com-
mon name)
2. Most salts of Na+, K+, and NH4+ are soluble.
SO32- sulfite ClO- hypochlorite
3. Most chloride salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are
AgCl, PbCl2, and Hg2Cl2
SO42- sulfate ClO2- chlorite
4. Most sulfate salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are
BaSO4, PbSO4, and CaSO4. HSO4- hydrogen sulfate ClO3- chlorate
(bisulfate is a widely used common
name)
5. Most hydroxide compounds are only slightly soluble.* The
important exceptions are NaOH and KOH. Ba(OH)2 and
Ca(OH)2 are only moderately soluble. OH- hydroxide ClO4- perchlorate

6. Most sulfide (S2-), carbonate (CO32-), and phosphate (PO43-) CN- cyanide C2H3O2- acetate
salts are only slightly soluble.
PO43- phosphate MnO4- permanganate
* The terms insoluble and slightly soluble really mean the
same thing: such a tiny amount dissolves that it may not be HPO42- hydrogen phosphate Cr2O72- dichromate
possible to detect it with the naked eye.
H2PO4- dihydrogen phosphate CrO42- chromate

1 mole=6.02x1023 particles C2O42- oxalate O22- peroxide

NOTES IO3- iodate
