Solubility of Common Compounds

Hello all!

Our class today began with a recap of yesterday's solubility lab. We were showed some tricks for equation balancing and determining solubility before we delved into today's main lesson.

Our main lesson today was the rules for the solubility of common compounds. We learned that certain compounds are soluble in water, unless containing certain ions that make them insoluble. For example, compounds with Chloride, Cl-, are soluble in water unless they contain the ions Ag+, Hg2+2, or Pb2+.

Inversely, some compounds have rules in which they are insoluble in water unless they contain certain ions that make them soluble. For example, sulfide compounds, S2-, are insoluble unless they contain ions of K+, Na+, or NH4+.

We had the rest of the class to work on the lab or the 1st Reaction Solubility worksheet.

The next scribe will be Zach(Salty).
