I need help with the solubility rules.
Is there a list as to what is more soluble than another?
Do we need to know every detail in solubility rules?
And I don't quite know how to do this problem:
"Silver Chloride is MOST soluble in which of the following solutions at 25 C?"
A. 0.10 M HgNO3 (aq)
B. Pure Water
C. AgNO3 (aq)
D. NaCl (aq)
 
You need to know that nitrate salts are generally soluble and understand the common ion effect--common ions would make the salt less soluble through Le Chatlier's Principle. So A would increase solubility while C & D would reduce it.

You should probably also know that alkali metal, acetate and ammonium salts are usually soluble.

There should be some general guidelines in your chemistry textbook.

Think about this solubility rule: All chlorides, bromides, and iodides are soluble EXCEPT when combined with Ag+, Pb2+ and Hg2+
