Chapter 14, Problem 1PE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether $\text{AgCl}$ is soluble in water or not has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Below mentioned are solubility rules that are required to govern whether compounds are soluble or insoluble in water.

1. Group 1A compounds are soluble in water.

2. Common compounds of ${\text{NH}}_4^{+}$ and all acetates, nitrates and perchlorates are soluble in water. All chlorides, bromides and iodides are soluble, except for those of ${\text{Ag}}^{+}$, ${\text{Pb}}^{2+}$, ${\text{Cu}}^{+}$ and ${\text{Hg}}_2^{2+}$.

3. Common fluorides, except for ${\text{PbF}}_{\text{2}}$ and group 2A fluorides are soluble in water. Also, all sulfates are soluble, except for ${\text{CaSO}}_{\text{4}}$, ${\text{SrSO}}_{\text{4}}$, ${\text{BaSO}}_{\text{4}}$, ${\text{Ag}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ and ${\text{PbSO}}_{\text{4}}$.

4. All hydroxides are insoluble, except for $\text{Ca}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$, $\text{Sr}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$, $\text{Ba}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ and hydroxides of group 1A.

5. All carbonates and phosphates, except for those of group 1A and ammonium ion are insoluble.

6. All sulfides, except for those of group 1A, 2A and ammonium ion are insoluble.
