2. Which of the following compounds are soluble except those of silver, mercury, and lead?

Explanation

Iodides are generally soluble except those of silver, mercury, and lead due to the nature of their respective compounds. On the other hand, chlorides, sulfates, and carbonates have varying solubility properties which may not necessarily follow the same exceptions as iodides.

Submit
3. Which of the following statements accurately describes the solubility of chlorides?

Explanation

Chlorides are typically soluble in water, except for silver, mercury, and lead chlorides. Lead (II) chloride is an exception as it is soluble in hot water.

Submit
4. Which of the following best describes the solubility of bromides?

Explanation

Bromides are generally soluble except for those of silver, mercury, and lead due to their low solubility constants.

Submit
5. Are chlorates soluble in water?

Explanation

Chlorates are typically soluble in water due to their highly polar nature, which allows them to dissociate into ions and form a solution. This property makes them useful in various industrial and laboratory applications.

Submit
6. Are acetates soluble in water?

Explanation

Acetates are generally soluble in water due to their nature as salts of acetic acid.

Submit
7. Are nitrates soluble?

Explanation

Nitrates are highly soluble in water due to their ionic nature, making them easily dissolve and form solutions.

Submit
8. Are nitrites soluble or insoluble?

Explanation

Nitrites are salts that are generally soluble in water, meaning they can dissolve in water to form a clear solution.

Submit
9. Are perchlorates soluble?

Explanation

Perchlorates are typically considered soluble in water due to their highly ionic nature, allowing them to dissociate into ions and interact with water molecules.

Submit
10. Which of the following statements best describes the solubility of phosphates?

Explanation

Phosphates are generally insoluble except for those of ammonium and group 1 compounds due to their unique chemical properties.

Submit
11. What is the solubility of carbonates?

Explanation

Carbonates are generally insoluble except for those of ammonium and group 1 compounds due to the nature of their chemical structures and bonding.

Submit
12. What is the solubility of borates?

Explanation

Borates are typically insoluble in water, except for those of ammonium and group 1 compounds which are exceptions to the general rule of insolubility.

Submit
13. Which of the following best describes the solubility of silicates?

Explanation

Silicates are typically insoluble except in the case of compounds involving ammonium and group 1 elements. This is due to the strong bonding within silicates that makes them difficult to dissolve in most types of compounds.

Submit
14. What is the solubility of metallic oxides?

Explanation

Metallic oxides are generally insoluble in water and other common solvents due to their low reactivity, with exceptions being the oxides of ammonium and group 1 compounds which are soluble.

Submit
15. Which of the following statements is true about Metallic Hydroxides?

Explanation

Metallic hydroxides are typically insoluble in water except for ammonium and group one compounds, as well as group two compounds below calcium. This is due to the low solubility of most metallic hydroxides in water.

Submit
16. Which of the following best describes the solubility of sulfides?

Explanation

Sulfides are generally insoluble except when combined with ammonium, group one compounds, and group two compounds, where they exhibit solubility.

Submit
17. Which of the following silver salts are most insoluble?

Explanation

The correct answer states that most silver salts are insoluble except for silver nitrate and silver acetate, which are exceptions to this rule.

Submit
18. What is the solubility of chromates?

Explanation

Chromates are generally insoluble except in the case of ammonium and group 1 compounds where they show solubility.
