Tag Archives: lead bromide soluble or insoluble

Most chemistry textbooks contain a chart or table of solubility. These charts divide ionic compounds into two groups, “soluble” and “insoluble”. Some books even add a third category, “slightly soluble.” However, these solubility charts are misleading. Ionic compounds are never completely soluble or insoluble. They always dissociate into their ions… Continue reading →

When a substance is added to a solution it can either dissolve completely or form a precipitate. If it dissolves completely, it forms a saturated solution that contains the maximum concentration of solute ions possible in the solvent (its solubility). If there is more solute than can be dissolved, it… Continue reading →
