LEARNING OUTCOMES
C12-1-02: Perform a laboratory activity to develop a set of solubility rules
C12-1-03: Use a table of solubility rules to predict the formation of a precipitate
SOLUBILITY RULES
• Solubility rules allow people to predict if a precipitate will form, and if one does---what it is!
• Solubility rules rely on standard known solubilities for ions at STP (standard temperature and pressure: 0C and 101.3 kPa)
• In order to use the solubility rules to your advantage when predicting the product of the combination of two ionic solutions you must be able to write a net ionic equation
WRITING NET IONIC EQUATIONS
Step 1: Predict the products of the reaction and ensure that the equation is balanced
Think double-displacement reaction
Example: Reaction between BaCl2 and Na2SO4
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 BaSO4 + NaCl
WRITING NET IONIC EQUATIONS
Step 2: Balance the equation
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 BaSO4 + 2NaCl
WRITING NET IONIC EQUATIONS
Step 3: Use a table of solubility rules to identify which ionic substances will precipitate from aqueous solutions
Precipitate is a solid give it an ‘s’ subscript and the rest an ‘aq’ subscript
BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)
This is known as a balanced molecular equation
WRITING NET IONIC EQUATIONS
Step 4: Separate the aqueous solutions into their ions
Ba2+ (aq) + 2Cl-
(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + SO42-
(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2Na+
(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
This is known as an ionic equation
WRITING NET IONIC EQUATIONS
Step 5: Cancel out spectator ions
Ba2+ (aq) + 2Cl-
(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + SO42-
(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2Na+
(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
Ba2+ (aq) + SO42-
(aq) BaSO4(s)
This is a net ionic equation
SOLUBILITY RULES
A set of rules to help you predict if and what precipitate will form when combining ionic solutions.
