How do I use the “Solubility Rules” presented in Figure4.7, page 167 ?
The solubility guidelines presented on page 167 providea “rule of thumb” guide for you to predict the solubility of ioniccompounds in water. The dissociation of ionic compounds often referred to”salts” for historic reasons, was observed by Svante Arrheniusat the end of the nineteenth century. His work explained why ionic saltsdissolved in water conducted electricity because the resulting hydratedcations and anions could act as charge carriers in the aqueous solution.
