Question

On the basis of the general solubility rules given in the table below, predict which of the following substances are likely to be soluble in water. (Select all that apply.)

zinc chloride

lead(II) sulfate

magnesium carbonate

ammonium carbonate

Simple Rules for the Solubility of Salts in Water 1. Most nitrate (NO) salts are soluble. 2. Most salts containing the alkali metal ions (Li", Na, K, Cst, Rb*) and the ammonium ion (NH,) are soluble. 3. Most chloride, bromide, and iodide salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are salts contain- ing the ions Ag", Pb", and Hgr. 4. Most sulfate salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are BaSO4. PbSO4, Hg,SO, and CaSO4. 5. Most hydroxide salts are only slightly soluble. The important soluble hydroxides are NaOH and KOH. The compounds BalOH), Sr(OH), and Ca(OH), are marginally soluble. 6. Most sulfide (S), carbonate (CO²), chromate (Cro.?"), and phosphate (PO.') salts are only slightly soluble.

Explanation / Answer

There are no such rules about the solubility of ZnCl2 so it is not be soluble in water.

According to rule four lead sulphate is soluble.

According to rule 6, Magnesium carbonate may be soluble in water.

From rule 2 and 6 so ammonium carbonate is soluble in water.
