Ionic compounds are those which form ions when dissolve in water.water is ionic compound because when it dissolve in water it ionizes in to H+ and OH-Therefore ionic compounds are soluble in water.

Ionic compounds are not soluble in kerosine oil because there is covalent bond in it.

Why ionic compounds are soluble in water but not in keroscene oil?

Ionic compounds are soluble in water because water is also ionic compound and insoluble in kerosene oil because there is covalent bonds


Why is barium chloride and sodium sulfate soluble in water?

They are ionic compounds, and many ionic compounds are soluble in water, as their ions dissociate in the water.


Are all ionic compounds Almost all ionic compounds are soluble in water?

Almost all. Some such as calcium carbonate, silver chloride are not soluble. Generally ionic compounds are soluble in water due to their ionic bonds which makes them easy to dissociate in polar solutions such as water.


Why are ionic salts soluble in water?

Because ionic salts are polar compounds as water, the solvent.


Biochemical compounds that are soluble in water are called?

The first thing is that they are ionic: hydrophillic [water loving] ionic compounds are happiest when dissolved.They are also commonly known as soluble solutes.


What are most nitrates?

Nitrates are ionic compounds soluble in water.


How does solubility of ionic compounds and gas in water vary with temperature and pressure changes?

Ionic compounds and gases are more soluble in water at higher temperatures. They are more soluble at lower pressures as well.


Are ionic bonds soluble in water?

Yes, ionic substances are soluble in water.


Most nitrate salts are what?

Nitrates are ionic compounds soluble in water.


Do ionic compounds such as chloride dissolves easily in water?

I classify that as an overstatement. It is true that a great many ionic compounds are highly soluble in water, but not all of them.


Why are ionic compounds insoluble in organic compounds?

It isn't strictly true, but generally ionic compounds are not highly soluble in organic solvents because ionic compounds need a highly polar solvent to dissolve well (such as water) and in general organic compounds are not as polar as water. Remember, like dissolves like. However, many ionic compounds are very soluble in a variety of organic solvents, just not as much as in water.


What cations always form soluble compounds?

Cations don't always form soluble compounds. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in very polar solvents such as water and insoluble in nonpolar solvents because the charged ions can be solvated only by polar solvents. Some ionic compounds are insoluble even in water, however.
