Solution Salts

Clinical Applications of Ionic and non ionic compounds:

2. Soluble and Insoluble Salts
3. Clinical applications for these solution

we have considered ionic compounds that dissolve in water; they are soluble salts.
some ionic compounds do not dissociate into ions in water. They are insoluble salts that remain as solids even in contact with water.

Salts that are soluble in water typically contain at least one of the following ions:
Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, NO3-, or C2H3O2- (acetate).

Only a salt containing a soluble cation or anion will dissolve in water.

Most salts containing Cl- are soluble, but AgCl, PbCl2, and Hg2Cl2 are insoluble chloride salts.

Similarly, most salts containing SO42- are soluble, but a few are insoluble, as shown in(Table 1)

Most other salts are insoluble and do not dissolve in water.

Some of ionic salts soluble and others not ?
Answer:

In an insoluble salt, the ionic bonds between its positive and negative ions are too strong for the polar water molecules to break.
