You will be able to accurately predict what combinations will lead to what results. The solubility rules are only for ionic solids' ability to dissolve in water. While we can calculate the solubility by measuring each substance and following an equation, the solubility rules allow us to determine the solubility of a substance before you attempt to create it.
It is very important that the rules on this list are followed in order, because if a rule seems to contradict another rule, the rule that comes first is the one that you follow. Substances on this list are given by their elemental names.
Referencing the periodic table below will help you work through the elemental names and groups. There are few exceptions to this rule. Salts containing Cl -, Br -, or I - are generally soluble.
Most silver salts are insoluble. Most sulfate salts are soluble. Most hydroxide salts are only slightly soluble. Hydroxide salts of Group I elements are soluble. Arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and lead sulfides are also insoluble.
Carbonates are frequently insoluble. Note: Letter e is an example of using the order of the rules to determine solubility. Rule 4 says that silvers Ag are frequently insoluble, but rule 3 says that chlorates Cl are soluble. Since Ag ClO3 is a silver chlorate, and rule 3 comes before rule 4, it supersedes it.
This compound is soluble. None of the above silver is soluble. In rule 4, it states that silver salts Ag are insoluble, with silver nitrate, AgNO3, as one exception. As we see from our solubility rules, some substances are very soluble, while some are insoluble or have low solubility.
Let's take a look at how solubility works to better understand the solubility rules. The remaining calcium nitrate ions will stay in solution due to the solubility rules for nitrates.

Soluble Insoluble All common sodium, potassium and ammonium salts All nitrates Most common chlorides Silver chloride, lead chloride Most common sulfates Lead sulfate, barium sulfate, calcium sulfate Sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, ammonium carbonate Most common carbonates Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide Most common hydroxides The top two rows explain why so many salt solutions used in the laboratory are sodium or potassium compounds or nitrates.
Precipitates A precipitate is an insoluble product that forms when two solutions are mixed and react together. A yellow precipitate of lead iodide.
All common sodium, potassium and ammonium salts. All nitrates. Most common chlorides. Silver chloride, lead chloride. Most common sulfates. Rule 4 states that bromides are usually soluble, but Rule 3 states that salts of silver are insoluble. Because Rule 3 precedes Rule 4, the compound is insoluble and will form a precipitate. The products of the reaction must be examined; if either of the substances formed in the reaction is insoluble, a precipitate will form.
Considering NaNO 3 , Rule 3 states that nitrates tend to be soluble. A precipitate of this compound will not form. Next, consider Ag 2 S. According to Rule 5, that sulfides tend to be insoluble. Therefore, because of this compound, a precipitate will form in the course of this reaction. The first product, KOH, is an example of two rules contradicting each other.
Although Rule 5 says that hydroxides tend to be insoluble, Rule 1 states that salts of alkali metal cations tend to be soluble, and Rule 1 precedes Rule 5. Therefore, this compound will not contribute to any precipitation being formed. The second product, Na 2 CrO 4 , also adheres to Rule 1, which states that salts of alkali metals tend to be soluble.
