a better solvent. 
a. NH3 
b. Br2 
c. C6H6 
d. NaCl 
e. KNO3

Classify the following compounds as insoluble (I) or soluble (S) in water. 
a. NH4Cl 
b. BaCO3 
c. Li2S 
d. CuNO3 
e. CaSO4 
f. C12H22O11(sucrose) 
g. FePO4 
h. PbCl2 
i. Ca(C2H3O2)2 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The solubility of a compound in water is an important factor that determines its potential use in various applications, such as chemical reactions, separation processes, and drug delivery. In this answer, we will classify eight different compounds as either insoluble (I) or soluble (S) in water, based on their ability to dissolve in water at standard temperature and pressure (STP). This information will help to understand the behavior of these compounds in aqueous solutions and their potential applications.
