Metallic carbonates decompose into metallic oxides and carbon dioxide. CaCO3 ----> CaO + CO2 K2CO3 ----> K2O + CO2 H2CO3 ----> H2O + CO2 2. Many metallic hydroxides decompose into metallic oxides and water. 2 KOH ----> K2O + H2O Ca(OH)2 ----> CaO + H2O 2 Al(OH)3 ----> Al2O3 + 3 H2O 3. Metallic chlorates decompose into metallic chlorides and oxygen gas. 2 KClO3 ----> 2 KCl + 3 O2 Ba(ClO3)2 ----> BaCl2 + 3 O2 2 Al(ClO3)3 ----> 2 AlCl3 + 9 O2 4. Many binary (two-element) compounds decompose into pure elements. 2 HgO ----> 2 Hg + O2 2 H2O ----> 2 H2 + O2 2 NaCl ----> 2 Na + Cl2 Note: There are many other kinds of decomposition reactions in addition to those shown above.

Compounds of nitrates (NO3 1- ), acetates (C2H3O2 1- ), and chlorates (ClO3 1- ) ARE soluble NO 2. All common compounds of Na, K, and NH4 1+ ARE soluble NO 3. Most chlorides, Cl 1-, bromides, Br 1-, and fluorides, F 1-, ARE soluble NO (But those of Ag, Hg, and Pb* are NOT soluble) YES 4. Most sulfate, SO4 2-, compounds ARE soluble NO (But those of Pb, Ba, Sr, and Ca** are NOT soluble) YES 5. Most carbonate (CO3 2- ), phosphate (PO4 3- ), and sulfide (S 2- ) compounds are NOT soluble YES (But those of Na, K, and NH4 1+ ARE soluble) NO 6. Most hydroxides, OH 1-, are NOTsoluble YES (But those of all Group1A metals, and Ca, Ba and Sr ARE soluble) NO *Lead chloride, PbCl2, is fairly soluble in hot water. Consider it a precipitate. **Calcium sulfate, CaSO4, is slightly soluble. Consider it a precipitate. R-5 A.J. Girondi

If a P is not listed for a substance, it is soluble in water (it dissolves). If you cannot find the data you need in this table, check the solubility rules.
