Best Answer

Mercury (II) chloride is soluble, but Mercury (I) (mercurous) chloride is insoluble. The formula of the first compound is HgCl2, and mercurous chloride is Hg2Cl2. Also, lead chloride (PbCl2) and Silver chloride (AgCl) is insoluble. All other chloride solutions are soluble.

Which of this soluble in water agcl agno3 naco3 pbno32?

The applicable rules of thumb are: All common nitrates are soluble. All common alkali metal salts are soluble. Applying those two rules, the only thing we're left with is silver chloride, which is insoluble. In fact, the solubility rule for chlorides is "All common chlorides are soluble except silver, mercury (I), and lead."


Is salt soluble or insoluble in water?
