The following solubility chart gives a useful summary:. Solubility chart : To determine the solubility of an given salt, find the cationic component along the left-hand side, match it to the anionic component along the top, then check to see if it is S — soluble, I — insoluble, or sS — slightly soluble. Solubility is the relative ability of a solute solid, liquid, or gas to dissolve into a solvent and form a solution. Solubility is the ability of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance referred to as the solute to dissolve in solvent usually a liquid and form a solution.
The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the solvent used, as well as temperature and pressure. The solubility of a substance in a particular solvent is measured by the concentration of the saturated solution. A solution is considered saturated when adding additional solute no longer increases the concentration of the solution. The degree of solubility ranges widely depending on the substances, from infinitely soluble fully miscible , such as ethanol in water, to poorly soluble, such as silver chloride in water.
Under certain conditions, the equilibrium solubility can be exceeded, yielding a supersaturated solution. Solubility does not depend on particle size; given enough time, even large particles will eventually dissolve. The solubility of a given solute in a given solvent typically depends on temperature.
For many solids dissolved in liquid water, solubility tends to correspond with increasing temperature. As water molecules heat up, they vibrate more quickly and are better able to interact with and break apart the solute. Solubilty of various substances vs. The solubility of gases displays the opposite relationship with temperature; that is, as temperature increases, gas solubility tends to decrease.
In a chart of solubility vs. Pressure has a negligible effect on the solubility of solid and liquid solutes, but it has a strong effect on solutions with gaseous solutes. This is apparent every time you open a soda can; the hissing sound from the can is due to the fact that its contents are under pressure, which ensures that the soda stays carbonated that is to say, that the carbon dioxide stays dissolved in solution.
The takeaway from this is that the solubility of gases tends to correlate with increasing pressure. Pay particular attention to compounds listed as "slightly soluble" and remember that temperature affects solubility.
For example, a solution of calcium chloride is typically considered soluble in water, yet if the water is cold enough, the salt doesn't readily dissolve. Transition metal compounds may form a precipitate under cold conditions, yet dissolve when it's warmer. Also, consider the presence of other ions in a solution.
This can affect solubility in unexpected ways, sometimes causing a precipitate to form when you didn't expect it.

Write the net ionic equation for the potentially double displacement reactions. Make sure to include the states of matter and balance the equations. After dissociation, the ionic equation is as follows:. The ionic equation is after balancing :. This means that both the products are aqueous i. The ionic equation is:. After canceling out spectator ions, the net ionic equation is given below:. Properties of Precipitates Precipitates are insoluble ionic solid products of a reaction, formed when certain cations and anions combine in an aqueous solution.
Figure 1: Above is a diagram of the formation of a precipitate in solution. Precipitation and Double Replacement Reactions The use of solubility rules require an understanding of the way that ions react.
This can be thought of as "switching partners"; that is, the two reactants each "lose" their partner and form a bond with a different partner: Figure 2: A double replacement reaction A double replacement reaction is specifically classified as a precipitation reaction when the chemical equation in question occurs in aqueous solution and one of the of the products formed is insoluble. Solubility Rules Whether or not a reaction forms a precipitate is dictated by the solubility rules.
Bromides, chlorides, and iodides are soluble. Salts conta ining silver, lead, and mercury I are insoluble. Sulfides formed with group 2 cations and hydroxides formed with calcium, strontium, and barium are exceptions. Net Ionic Equations To understand the definition of a net ionic equation , recall the equation for the double replacement reaction.
Applications and Examples Precipitation reactions are useful in determining whether a certain element is present in a solution. Example 1 Complete the double replacement reaction and then reduce it to the net ionic equation. Example 2 Complete the double replacement reaction and then reduce it to the net ionic equation. A precipitate, which looks like light blue specks of dust, forms. You carefully add the sodium sulphate solution into tube 2. No precipitate forms.
The solution stays light blue. What happened? The product that forms may be insoluble, in which case a precipitate will form, or soluble, in which case the solution will be clear. You can automatically exclude the reactions where sodium carbonate and copper II chloride are the products because these were the initial reactants. The balanced chemical equation is:. You know that sodium chloride NaCl is soluble in water, so the remaining product copper carbonate must be the one that is insoluble.
