CHEMITRY CALCULATOR
Solubility Rule
A precise tool.
What is the Solubility Rule & How does it work?
Solubility rules are a set of guidelines that predict the solubility of inorganic salts in water based on their ionic composition.

var = meaning
For example, most nitrate (NO_3^-) salts are soluble in water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some common anions that are soluble in water?
Common anions like nitrate (NO3^-), chloride (Cl^-), and acetate (CH3COO^-) are generally soluble in water.
How do solubility rules help chemists?
Solubility rules help chemists predict whether a salt will dissolve in water, aiding in reaction predictions and solution preparation.
Are there exceptions to the solubility rules?
Yes, there are exceptions. For example, most sulfates (SO4^2-) are soluble, but lead(II) sulfate (PbSO4) is insoluble in water.
Can you give an example of a salt that follows the solubility rules?
Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) follows the solubility rules as both sodium (Na^+) and nitrate (NO3^-) ions are generally soluble in water.
How do I use this calculator to predict solubility?
Input the cation and anion of the salt into the calculator, and it will predict its solubility based on the solubility rules.
