Assignment #9 Practicing Solubility

Rules and Net Ionic Equations

Solubility is an important concept in AP Chemistry. You are expected to know the
solubility rules from memory and use them correctly. You can use TABLE F from
the NYS reference table to get you started but you need to be able to do them
from memory when you come back to school and take the summer assignment
test on the second day of school.

Help on solubility rules and net ionic equations:

1. Circle the following compounds that would be soluble in water.
NaOH
Fe2S3
MgSO4
PbCl2
Ba(NO3)2
MgCO3

1. Write a balanced equation to show the dissociation of each of the following ionic compounds in
water. How many moles of ions are formed when 1 mole of the solid is dissociated?

i) Na2S
Example: Na2S (s) 2Na+(aq) + S2-(aq)
2 moles of sodium ions and 1 mole of sulfur ions

ii) Ca(NO3)2
Example: Ca(NO3)2(s) Ca2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)
1 moles of calcium ions and 2moles of nitrate ions

BE SURE NOT IONIZE THE POLYATOMIC ION!!!
iii) MgSO4
iv) K3PO4
v)(NH4)2CO3

2. Predict whether each of the following compounds is soluble or insoluble in water.

i)Magnesium Phosphate
ii)Silver (I) Nitrate
iii)Barium Carbonate
iv)Calcium Chloride
v)Aluminum Sulfide
vi)Na2SO4
vii)Li2CO3
viii)NH4Br
ix)Ni(NO3)2
x)PbSO4
xi)FeCl3
xii)Na3PO4

3. Consider the following pair of aqueous solutions being mixed. On the basis of the solubility
rules, write the Compete molecular equation (M), complete ionic equation(CI)and the Net Ionic
Equation for each (NI). Please label each type of equation for each problem. You can use the
letters M, CI, and NI to shorten the work. A reaction occurs in all cases. Please put state symbols
(s,aq) on each form (M, CI, NI) of the equation. Be sure to avoid the common mistakes of not
ionizing compounds correctly.

i)Sodium sulfide and Manganese (II)chloride
ii)Lead (II) nitrate and Ammonium carbonate
iii)Sodium sulfate and silver nitrate
