Solubility of salt.
All K+ , Na+
and NH4+ salts
are soluble All
nitrate salts are
soluble
All carbonate are soluble except K 2CO3,
Na2CO3 and (NH4)2CO3 All Sulphate salts
are soluble except BaSO4 , CaSO4, and
PbSO4 All chloride salts are soluble except
AgCl2 and PbCl2

anions of insoluble salts
- Stir using glass rod
- Filter using filter funnel
- Rinse the residue with
distilled water
- Dry the residue with filter
paper
- Gently heat the filtrate to obtain a saturated solution (one-third of its original volume remains)
- Cool the hot saturated solution to allow it to crystallize
- Filter and dry the crystals by using filter paper
