Solid/Salt
Solubility in Water
Application in QA
Nitrates
All nitrates are soluble.
This means that any ion, when combined with the nitrate ion in solution, will not precipitate.
Sodium, potassium and ammonium salts
All sodium, potassium and ammonium salts are soluble.
This means that any ion, when combined with the sodium, potassium and ammonium ion in solution, will not precipitate.
Sulphates
All sulphates are soluble except for BaSO4, CaSO4 and PbSO4.
When a solution containing barium, calcium, or lead(II) ions are mixed with sulphate ions, a precipitate will be formed.
Chlorides
All chlorides are soluble except for AgCl, PbCl2.
When solutions containing silver or lead(II) ions are mixed with sulphate ions, a precipitate will be formed.
Carbonates
All carbonates are insoluble except for Na2CO3, K2CO3 and (NH4)2CO3.
Any cation except NH4+ and Group I cations e.g. Na+, K+, and will combine with carbonate ions in solution to form a precipitate.
Oxides and Hydroxides
All oxides and hydroxides are insoluble except for Na2O, K2O, NaOH, KOH and
Ca(OH)2 [sparingly soluble].
Most cations except NH4+ and Group I cations e.g. Na+, K+, and will combine with hydroxide ions in solution to form precipitates.
