4. Read this first

   Use this

   Short solubility table (OpenStax Chemistry 2e, Table 4.1, shortened). Columns: ions, usually, exceptions. Na⁺, K⁺, NH₄⁺ (group 1 and ammonium), soluble, none; NO₃⁻ (nitrate), soluble, none; Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻, soluble, Ag⁺ and a few others; SO₄²⁻ (sulfate), soluble, Ag⁺, Ca²⁺ and a few others; CO₃²⁻, PO₄³⁻, insoluble, group 1 and NH₄⁺; OH⁻ (hydroxide), insoluble, group 1 and one other.

5. 4.

   Using the table, does NaNO₃ dissolve in water, Jun?

   • No: sodium compounds sink
   • No: it contains oxygen
   • Yes: nitrates are soluble
6. 5.

   Using the table, which carbonate dissolves in water, Luz?

   • MgCO₃
   • CaCO₃
   • Na₂CO₃
7. 6.

   In an equation, what does (s) after a product mean, Milo?

   • It forms as a solid
   • It bubbles off as a gas
   • It stays dissolved
8. 7.

   In an equation, what does (aq) after a formula mean, Noah?

   • A pure liquid
