general rules for solubility of ionic compounds

Ionic compounds are generally soluble in water and other polar solvents having high dielectric constants. This is due to larger electrostatic interactions between polar solvents and ions. However ionic compounds are insoluble in non-polar..

Covalent compounds are generally insoluble or less soluble in water and in other polar solvents. They are however, soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride et..

Solubility Product - Compounds such as AgCl, AgBr, AgI, BaSO 4 etc., when placed in a polar solvent such as water, dissolve to a very limited extent to produce ions in the solution. These sparingly soluble ionic substances (salts) establish an equilibrium bet..

Compounds such as AgCl, AgBr, AgI, BaSO 4 etc., when placed in a polar solvent such as water, dissolve to a very limited extent to produce ions in the solution. These sparingly soluble ionic substances (salts) establish an equilibrium between the solid phase and the ..

Suppose we dissolve silver nitrate, an ionic solid in water, the ions in the crystal lattice are released and once in solution, move freely in hydrated form. The situation is represented by the equatio..

Salts are generally ionic compounds formed by the reaction of an acid with a base. The preparation of these salts involves the treating of different metals and non-metals and their compounds with various acids, bases etc. However, some of them can be prepared..

Order of naming ions - The cation is named first (whether simple or complex) then the anion. Example: [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ]Cl 3 hexaammine cobalt (III) chloride. K 2 [PtCl 6 ] potassium hexachloroplatinate (IV). Name is started with a small letter and the complex part is written as one word. For non-..

Compounds of Magnesium and Calcium - Magnesium and calcium form dipositive ions. They form compounds with many non-metals. The compounds are generally ionic. Unlike the salts of alkali metals, those of magnesium and calcium are not always readily ..
