There are set of rules that are a guide to determine if an inorganic compound is soluble in water. The rules are listed in order of importance and rule 1 will overwrite rule 5.<\/p>\n

Rule 1:<\/span> All salts that include a group 1 element or ammonium are soluble.<\/p>\n

Rule 2:<\/span> All nitrates and acetates are soluble.<\/p>\n

Rule 3:<\/span> All compounds with halogens and a metal except for fluorine are soluble except those with silver, mercury and lead.<\/p>\n

Rule 4:<\/span> All sulphates are soluble except those with barium, strontium, lead, calcium, silver and mercury.<\/p>\n

Rule 5:<\/span> Carbonates, oxides, hydroxides, and phosphates are insoluble.<\/p>\n

Is Ca(NO3<\/sub>)2<\/sub> soluble in water?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. Rule 2 states that all nitrates are soluble.<\/p>\n

Is Na2<\/sub>(CO3<\/sub>) soluble in water?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. Even though rule 5 states that carbonates are insoluble, rule 1 is higher and thus this compound is soluble in water.<\/p>\n

Is Ca(OH)2<\/sub> soluble in water?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. No other rule above 5 applies to this compound and so rule 5 states that hydroxides are insoluble.<\/p>\n
