Best Answer

Carbonates are generally not very soluble in water, though their solubility increases considerably if the water is even slightly acidic. The alkali metal carbonates are soluble.

What is the solubility of carbonate salts?

Some carbonates are soluble (carbonates of alkali metals) and some carbonates are practically insoluble in water (calcium and magnesium carbonate etc.).


Why bicarbonate are soluble while carbonates are not?

If carbonates are not soluble, you will need to inform a number of laundries using sodium carbonate that it is no longer soluble and will no longer dissolve in wash water! While you are at it, you should do some research and find a different product they can use!


Will metal salts react with acids?

Yes; for example soluble carbonates.


What is carbons solubility in water?

Carbonates of group 1 elements are soluble in water.


Why carbonate salts are insoluble?

Not true; as an example all the alkali carbonates are very soluble in water.


Are ionic bonds soluble in water?

Yes, ionic substances are soluble in water.


What metallic salts are soluble in water?

Examples: chlorides, sulfates, carbonates of alkali metals, nitrates etc.


Is all carbonate dissolve in water?

Chemically most carbonates are insoluble (Do not dissolve in water). The exception are the carbonates of Group(I) Alkali metals e.g. Sodium. Similarly, most sulphates. However, Chlorides and nitrates are soluble.


What is the rule used to predict the precipitate?

Whatever the precipitate is, it's not water-soluble. It's best to refer to a solubility table for this, but some general rules are: all nitrates are soluble, most chlorides and sulfates are soluble, few carbonates and hydroxides are soluble.


Why is lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate the least soluble hydroxide and carbonate among group1 metal hydroxides and carbonates?

LiOH


Is sodium carbonate a white grainy solid?

Yes, it is. It is also readily soluble in water, unlike most other carbonates.
