| Will a precipitation reaction occur?
| How can a particular solid compound be created?
| Will a compound dissolve in water? | |
| Compounds containing alkali metals or NH4+
| Compounds containing NO3-
| Compounds containing CH3COO- (acetates)
| Chlorides, bromides, iodides (these ions combined with
Pb2+, Ag+, Hg22+ form insoluble
compounds)
| SO42- (these ions combined with
Pb2+, Ba2+, Sr2+, Hg22+
form insoluble compounds) | |
| Compounds containing OH- or S2- (these
ions combined with alkali metals, Ba2+ or the ammonuim ion are
soluble)
| Compounds containing CO32- or PO43-
(these ions combined with alkali metals are soluble) | |
