Simple Rules for the Solubility of Salts in Water

1. Most nitrate (NO3-) salts are soluble.

2. Most salts containing the alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Cs+, Rb+) and the ammonium ion
(NH4+) are soluble.

3. Most chloride, bromide, and iodide salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are salts containing
the ions Ag+, Pb2+, and Hg22+.

4. Most sulfate salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are BaSO4, PbSO4, HgSO4, and CaSO4.

5. Most hydroxide salts are only slightly soluble. The important soluble hydroxides are NaOH
and KOH. The compounds Ba(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ca(OH)2 are marginally soluble.

6. Most sulfide (S2-), carbonate (CO32-), chromate (CrO42-), and phosphate (PO43-) salts are only
slightly soluble.
