Uranium has more that one valiance state. In one form it is quite soluble, in another not so soluble. That is why as oxygen became more plentiful and uranium a higher oxidation level it became soluble and dissolved in African rivers. It precipitated when the river met the ocean. There it created an atomic pile.
Uranium is a metal. You probably want the oxide or some other compound. Look up the solubility product constant for Uranium oxide. That will give you the exact figure for whatever valence and compound you want.

How does uranium deposits affect the water supply?
A bigger concentration of uranium in water.
What is the concentration of Uranium in sea water?
The concentration of uranium in sea water is approx. 4 micrograms/L.At this concentration the price of extraction is very prohibitive.
Is uranium soluble?
Not in anything that I can think of--certainly not water. Uranium is one of the densest materials on Earth.
How much heavier than water is uranium?
The density of water is 1 g/cm3 and the density of uranium is 19,06 g/cm3; the ratio is approx. 19.
If water system in a condo has 133 mcl uranium what are the chances that there is radon in the condo?
Radon is a progeny of uranium, as a radioactive decay element, independently of the uranium quantity or concentration.
How do you separate uranium from water?
What do you mean. Uranium is not soluble in water.
How does uranium deposits affect the water supply?
A bigger concentration of uranium in water.
Can you find the volume of uranium by water displacement?
yes you can you fill the water into the container and measure the amount of water then you place the uranium in the water and measure again. the difference between the two measurements is the volume of the uranium
Does water contain uranium?
No
How do you define the solubility for uranium?
Uranium is not soluble in water; uranium is easily soluble in acids, for ex. in nitric acid.
Are water argon hydrogen uranium elements?
Argon (Ar), Hydrogen (H) and uranium (U) are chemical elements. Water (H2O) is a chemical compound.
What is the concentration of Uranium in sea water?
The concentration of uranium in sea water is approx. 4 micrograms/L.At this concentration the price of extraction is very prohibitive.
Is uranium soluble?
Not in anything that I can think of--certainly not water. Uranium is one of the densest materials on Earth.
What happens when uranium and strontium get wet?
Uranium don't react with water at room temperature; strontium react with water and the hydroxide Sr(OH)2 is formed.
What would happen if uranium spilled into water?
Water pollution; it is important to know the quantity spilled, the possibility of dilution, the estimated concentration, if it is irradiated uranium, etc.
How much heavier than water is uranium?
The density of water is 1 g/cm3 and the density of uranium is 19,06 g/cm3; the ratio is approx. 19.
What is nuclear fuel reactor?
In light water reactors it is uranium dioxide with the uranium enriched to 4-5 percent
