1. Remember - Recall Using the name of the anion as a group name, list two kinds of ionic compounds that are mostly soluble and two kinds of ionic compounds that are mostly insoluble. Give an example of each compound and write its formula using a different cation for each one. Mostly Soluble Mostly Insoluble

Ex. With formula and name

Ex. With formula and name

2. Understand - Skill/Concept Match each type of ionic compound with the correct description of the compounds solubility in water.

Sulfates _________ Chlorides _________ Carbonates _________

A. Most compounds formed with this anion are soluble except for those formed with silver, lead and mercury B. Most compounds formed with this anion are insoluble, except those formed with Group 1 cations and the ammonium ion. C. Many compounds formed with this anion are soluble. The exceptions are compounds formed with calcium, strontium, barium, silver, lead and mercury. 3. Apply - Skill/Concept You know that compounds containing phosphates are insoluble. However, when you combine liquid ammonia with phosphoric acid, no precipitate is formed. Write the correct chemical equation for this reaction, including the appropriate state symbols. Then explain why no precipitate is formed during this combination.

4. Analyze - Strategic Thinking The solubility of potassium nitrate in 5 g of water is shown in the table below. Say that you perform an experiment and find that, at 80C, you are able to dissolve 8.2 g KNO3 in 5 g of water as illustrated in the sample data graph below. How does your data compare to the actual data? Calculate a percent error using your data and one of the points in the table.

5. Evaluate - Extended Thinking Compare the solutions of ionic compounds in aqueous solutions below and choose a solution from each column that when combined, will produce only one precipitate. Write the balanced equation for the reaction. Include state symbols in the reaction to identify the precipitate.

6. Create - Extended Thinking Use the information provided below to create a set of solutions using four of the solutions. Two combinations must mix together to make a double replacement reaction that forms a precipitate. The other combinations must not form a precipitate or have a precipitate that is slightly soluble. Write your 4 chosen solutions below and list the combinations. Write the double replacement reactions and indicate whether a precipitate forms by using state symbols. 4 Solutions: A. KOH B. BaCl2 C. NaC2H3O2 D. AgNO3
