AI Thread Summary
To determine the products of chemical reactions between two reactants, understanding solubility rules is essential. In a recent lab, a mixture of Lead(II) Nitrate and Potassium Chloride was analyzed, leading to the formation of Lead(II) Chloride as a product, while nitrates were excluded from the final equation due to their solubility. For accurate predictions of chemical reactions, utilizing solubility charts can be beneficial. Several resources, including online reaction lists, can assist in identifying potential products when mixing chemicals.

me and my friend are trying to figure out how to calculate the product(s) of two reactants, is there a way yo knowing what will mix with what? we did a lab I am my chemistry class where we mixed certain chemicals one group was all i think nitrates and then the other all something else so it was like Lead III Nitrate and Pottassium Chloride and then we needed to figrue out if a reaction occurred if it did we needed to write the product but the teacher said to exclude either nitrate and say pottasium because the didnt react in the equatsion so for example it would have turend out to

Lead III Chloride, so is there a certin way of being able to calculate the out come of the mixing of two chemicals? if there isn't a specific way is there a way i can find out or a website that can help me?


thanks

It may be handy to have a solubility chart around. Heres a list of reactions.

awsome! thansk for the help :biggrin:
 
No such thing as lead (III).
 
i was just givng an example but thansk anyways
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
