The question asks if Cu2+ is soluble with Cl- or not. I'm looking at my solubility chart and it says Cl- and Cu+ are low solubility. But I am wondering, does it matter if it is Cu+ or Cu2+? Are they both treated the same and therefore low solubile, or is just Cu+ low soluble?

I am looking for a formula that would relate temperature and solubility of a gas. I know that solubility has an inverse relationship and I also know that as the temperature of water increases from 0 C to around 30 C, the solubility of a gas in the water decreases to about half. Surely...

Maybe I am doing something horribly wrong here, but these numbers just make absolutely no sense to me. We are given solubility values which will subsequently be used for Ksp calculations. I was given hydrogen bromide and 5 solubility values (given in g/100g H2O) Since 1g = 1mL basically...

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good information regarding why the solubility of gases decreases with the increase of temperature. The only description I have is a cheap example involving a pop can where as the temperature of the can is increased the kinetic...

At what depth (roughly speaking) will gaseous oxygen dissolve (because of the surrounding pressure) into the water? Again, not asking for a precise figure. Thanks
