Solubility and Precipitates. Solubility is the ability of a compound to be dissolved in a given liquid (normally water). If it does not dissolve, it is insoluble, and a precipitate forms. Write chemical equation, determining if a reaction proceeds using Activity Series.

Solubility and Precipitates • Solubility is the ability of a compound to be dissolved in a given liquid (normally water). If it does not dissolve, it is insoluble, and a precipitate forms. • Write chemical equation, determining if a reaction proceeds using Activity Series. • If so, determine from solubility rules if any compound(s) formed are insoluble in solution. • If compound(s) are insoluble, use symbol (s) to designate “solid precipitate” is formed
