IO
Instructions: Use the solubility rules from below to put an “X” in the boxes that are SOLUBLE.
Solubility Rules:
1. All common salts of Group 1 elements and ammonium are soluble.
2. All common acetates and nitrates are soluble.
3. All binary compounds of Group 7 (other than F) with metals are soluble EXCEPT those of silver, mercury
I, and lead.
4. All sulfates are soluble except those of barium, strontium, calcium, silver, mercury I and lead.
5. Except for those in Rule 1, carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, sulfides and phosphates are insoluble.
