Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Water solubility of the given compounds should be analyzed.

Concept introduction:

Most of the ionic compounds are soluble in water, very few of the ionic compounds are sparingly soluble, and some of the ionic compounds are insoluble in water.  List of solubility of the compound is given below,

Soluble compounds in water

Almost all the salts of Na+, K+, NH4+, salts of nitrate (NO3-), chlorate (ClO3-), Perchlorate (ClO4-), Acetate (CH3CO2-) are soluble.

Almost all the salts of Cl-, Br-, I-(halides) are soluble. But some of the halides are (Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+) are insoluble.

Salts of F- are soluble.  But some of the fluoride salt of Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Pb2+ are insoluble.

Salts of sulfate (SO42-) are soluble.  But sulfates of Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Pb2+, Ag+, are insoluble.

Insoluble compounds in water:

Most of the salts of carbonate (CO32-), phosphate (PO43-), Oxalate (C2O42-), Chromate (CrO42-), sulfide (S2-) are insoluble but some of the salts of NH4+, alkali metal cations and BaS are soluble.

Most of the metal hydroxides and oxides are insoluble in water bit some of the alkali metal hydroxides, Ba(OH)2and Sr(OH)2 are soluble in water.

Answer to Problem 20PS

Ba(NO3)2 is soluble and others are insoluble.

Explanation of Solution

Almost all the salts of Na+, K+, NH4+, salts of nitrate (NO3-), chlorate (ClO3-), Perchlorate (ClO4-), Acetate (CH3CO2-) are soluble.

Ba(NO3)2 is dissolves in water, barium nitrate is composed of Ba2+and NO32-, and it became ions in water it soluble in water and others are insoluble.
