aaronq · Answer

what are they being dissolved in?

zaxoanl · Answer

in water

zaxoanl · Answer

please help i don't get it

aaronq · Answer

Water will dissolve polar-compounds easily, but not non-polar.

aaronq · Answer

The only exception would be $CaCO_3$, it's insoluble.

zaxoanl · Answer

is there a way to calculate the solubility (g/mL)?

zaxoanl · Answer

it says find solubility in g/100mL

jfraser · Answer

you need a solubility curve, like this one, or you need to use the KSP and calculate it

aaronq · Answer

There is definitely no analytical way of solving for the solubility, for an quantitative answer you need experimental data.
