(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility of ${\text{AgBr}}_{\left(\text{s}\right)}$ in water has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility Rules:

1. 1) Most salts of metal alkali and ammonium salts are soluble.
2. 2) Most salts of nitrates, acetates and perchlorates are soluble.
3. 3) Most salts of silver, lead and mercury (I) are insoluble.
4. 4) Most salts of chlorides, bromides and iodides are soluble.
5. 5) Most salts of carbonates, chromates, sulphides, oxides, phosphates and hydroxide are insoluble (except for hydroxides of ${\text{Ba}}^{\text{2+}}{\text{,Ca}}^{\text{2+}}\text{and}{\text{Sr}}^{\text{2+}}$ are slightly soluble).
6. 6) Most salts of sulphates are soluble, except for calcium sulphate, barium sulphate and strontium sulphate that are insoluble.
