Predict whether a precipitate forms and name any precipitate. A precipitate of silver chloride will form. Potassium sulfate solution is mixed with barium chloride solution. Predict whether a precipitate forms, and name any precipitate. A precipitate of barium sulfate will form. Solubility rules Solubility A substance's solubility is a measure of the maximum mass that will dissolve in a given volume of solvent , at a particular temperature.
Solubility in water The table summarises whether common ionic compounds are soluble or insoluble in water. 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. The solubility of an ionic compound in water depends on the ion pair that makes up the compound. Chemists have formulated a set of empirical guidelines to predict the solubility of ionic compounds in water. Exceptions to these guidelines are rare.
All nitrates and acetates are soluble. Similarly, all ammonium and non-lithium alkali metal compounds are soluble, as are nearly all lithium salts. Sulfate compounds are soluble, with the exception of its salts with lead, mercury, and silver — remember the acronym LMS or the phrase Let Me See — and calcium, barium, and strontium — remember the acronym CBS or the phrase Come By Soon.
All chloride, bromide, and iodide salts are soluble, with the exception of their salts with LMS — lead, mercury, and silver — as well as copper I and thallium. Moving to insoluble compounds, sulfides and hydroxides are insoluble, with the exception of their salts with alkali metals and barium.
In addition, ammonium sulfide is soluble, and strontium hydroxide is soluble when heated. Similarly, carbonates and phosphates are insoluble, with the exception of their ammonium and non-lithium alkali metal salts. Solubility is the measure of the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given quantity of solvent at a given temperature and pressure.
A compound is termed soluble if it dissolves in water. When soluble salts dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution; this process represents a physical change known as dissociation. Potassium chloride KCl is an example of a soluble salt. When solid KCl is added to water, the positive hydrogen end of the polar water molecules is attracted to the negative chloride ions, and the negative oxygen ends of water are attracted to the positive potassium ions.
Nitrate, NO 3 - , is a polyatomic ion, and in solution, it stays intact as a single whole unit. They remain such in solution and do not split into individual atoms. A compound is termed insoluble if it does not dissolve in water. In the case of insoluble salts, the strong interionic forces that bind the ions in the solid are stronger than the ion-dipole forces between individual ions and water molecules. As a result, the ions stay intact and do not separate.
Thus, most of the compound remains undissolved in water. Silver chloride AgCl is an example of an insoluble salt. The solubility of ionic compounds in water depends on the type of ions cation and anion that form the compounds. The solubility of a salt can be predicted by following a set of empirical rules listed below , developed based on the observations on many ionic compounds.

This is why the reactants need to be soluble.
Look at these results. Use the information in section on precipitation reactions above to help you. How would you show that a solution contains sulfate ions? Give the name of the reagent you would use, and state what you would see. A single crystal of salt contains trillions of positive and negative ions in an ionic lattice. As the lattice dissolves, the separate positive and negative ions repel each other and spread out.
In a precipitation reaction that involves mixing two different ionic solutions, the reaction is extremely fast. The trillions of each ion mean there is an extremely large collision frequency between the ions. The result is that both the soluble product and the insoluble precipitate are formed so quickly the reaction appears to be instant. Why is the collision frequency high when two ionic solutions are mixed? Figure 4: Gypsum crystals in a Mexico cave. How big is a crystal?
