| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| NO3- | All soluble |
| C2H3O2- | All soluble, AgC2H3O2 moderately soluble |
| Cl-, Br-, I- | All soluble except Ag+, Pb2+, and Hg2 2+ (PbCl2 slightly soluble in cold water and moderately soluble in hot water) |
| SO4 2- | All soluble except Ba2+, Pb2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+ |
| CO3 2- and PO4 3- | All insoluble except Na+, K+, NH4+ (many acid phosphates are soluble) |
| OH- | All insoluble except Na+ and K+. Hydroxides of Ba2+ and Ca2+ slightly soluble |
| S2- | All insoluble except Na+, K+, NH4+ and those of the alkaline earth metals (sulfides of Al3+ and Cr3+ hydrolyze and precipitate as corresponding hydroxides) |
