2.34: Know the Common Rules for Prediction the Solubility of Ionic Compounds in Water: Common Sodium, Potassium and Ammonium Compounds are Soluble, All Nitrates are Soluble, Common Chlorides are Soluble Except Those of Silver and Lead (II), Common Sulfates are Soluble, Except for those of Barium, Calcium and Lead (II), Common Carbonates are Insoluble, Except for those of Sodium, Potassium and Ammonium, Common Hydroxides are Insoluble Except for those of Sodium, Potassium and Calcium (Calcium Hydroxide is slightly Soluble)

SOLUBLE: When substance can dissolve in a given volume of solvent
