On the basis of the general solubility rules given in the table, predict which of the following substances are likely to be soluble in water.
Simple Rules for the Solubility of Salts in Water
  1. Most nitrate () salts are soluble.
  2. Most salts containing the alkali metal ions (, , , , ), and the ammonium ion () are soluble.
  3. Most chloride, bromide, and iodide salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are salts containing the ions , , and .
  4. Most sulfate salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are , , , and .
  5. Most hydroxides are only slightly soluble. The important soluble hydroxides are  and . The compounds , , and  are marginally soluble.
  6. Most sulfide ( ), carbonate (), chromate (), and phosphate () salts are only slightly soluble, except for those containing the cations in Rule 2.
