Besides understanding that Q>K causes precipitation. How do I know just by the given choices what forms a solid in aqueous solution?

which will not yield a precipitate?
a) AgNO3 + KBr
b) Pb(NO3)2 + KCl
c)NaNO3 +NH4Cl
d) BaBr2 + Na2SO4
e) CaI2 + (NH4)2CO3

Thanks!!!!!!!

I think you just need to memorize the little chart of common soluble solutions.

here check this out, memorize this and your set for ANY solubility question they throw at you...

The answer should be C:

NaNO3 +NH4Cl, because NaCl and NH4(NO3) are both soluble and will not form precipitates

trust me memorize that link i gave you and your golden its easy...

It's just solubility rules. and the answer is c. group I and NH4+ compounds are always soluble.

Thanks guys. And thanks Osims for that link.

I eliminated A and B off the bat, but I got stuck after that.

Dude, is it just me or there's a **** load of ions to memorize?

The only solubility rule that I got down are:
1) all group 1 metals and NO3 and NH4 are soluable (except (NH4)2SO4)
2) most Ag, Pb, Hg are insoluable

but that's it. Thanks anyways. I guess I'll try my best to memorize this http://members.tripod.com/~EppE/soluble.htm

the best rule to remember if ANYTHING is just that alkali metals and NH4+ are soluble with any molecule...but again just try to memorize the whole thing while your at it...i just looked at it every morning when i woke up and before i went to bed and it stayed with me. I thought it was bad but you start grouping things together and ordering them after a while at looking at it...

Now that's dedication. Thanks for the tip and good luck Friday bro.
