How Do You Memorize The Solubility Rules For Common Ionic Compounds In Water?
• First, memorize that all common Group 1A metal ionic compounds (that which contain Li, Na, K, Rb, or Cs) are soluble. • Then memorize that all common NH4 (ammonium) ionic compounds are also soluble in water. Compounds with an H+ cation (like HCl, hydrochloric acid) also tend to be soluble, as these are generally acids. • Then you want to memorize all the different compounds that are generally soluble in water. Use the website in “Things you Need” to do this • Then you want to memorize all the different compounds that are not generally soluble in water by using the same website. Then memorize the exceptions given in the tips section.
