Title: solubilites of compounds
Post by: brandnewrocks13 on October 07, 2008, 10:58:29 AM

I'm looking to find a good source that lists different compounds being soluble in HNO3, NaOH and NH3.  Or even some guidelines would be fantastic.

-thanks

NaOH is a solid.. FYI

sorry.. i forgot to mention that these are all aqueous... NaOH is soluble

If these are all aqueous, then they exist as ions in water.  So you're essentially trying to find the solubilities of compounds in water, in either a basic or acidic state.

what i'm trying to find out is what types of solids can be dissolved with NaOH, NH3 and HNO3.  The solids are insoluble in water, but some are soluble by these acids and bases.  I'm just wondering if there is some sort of guideline as to which solids can be dissolved by these compounds, or if it's just sort of random
