To determine the solubility of ionic compounds in water, what we need to use are the solubility rules.
00:10
So these exist either in table form or in a list form, but they're going to give you the same information regardless of what you use.
00:20
But using these rules, let's look at each of these.
00:23
Letter a, we have silver with chloride.
00:26
And the solubility rules, for the most part, are set up to look at the negative ion first, the anion.
00:33
So we look at chloride, and we see that most chlorides are soluble, except when chloride is combined with silver, mercury, or lead too, in which case it is insoluble.
00:46
So this first one will not dissolve in water.
00:49
So we look at the next one, copper hydroxide, we see that most hydroxides are insoluble.
00:56
The only hydroxides that are soluble are when we put hydroxide with a group one metal, strontium, barium, or ammonium.
01:06
But this would be insoluble.
01:09
Letter c, we see chloride again.
01:11
Remember, chloride is only insoluble if it's with silver, lead, or mercury...
