Which salt is expected to be insoluble in water based on solubility rules?
Multiple Choice
lead(II) nitrate
calcium fluoride
cesium phosphate
potassium bicarbonate
silver acetate
Calcium fluoride is insoluble in water. Fluoride is highly elctronegative and forms very strong attraction with calcium and are tightly held in a crystal form water molecules does not have enough strength to get in between and dissolve it.
Here are solubility rules
