Solubility of Salts

Different salts have different solubilities in water.

Solubility of salts

Solubility of salts

  • Soluble salts dissociate (break up) in to their anion and cation as the giant ionic lattice breaks.
  • Insoluble salts do not break up, so their giant ionic lattice stays intact (together).
