Hi, My question is: if you were to make a solubility table, how would you make one. Im in grade 11 Chemistry. I was thinking, dissolve every element/compound into water and see if they are aqeuous. Then we can tell which metals/compounds are insoluble or soluble with each other. For Ex. Magnesium and Hydroxide, Mg(OH)2 Magnesium is insoluble with Hydroxide. How do we assume that because Hydroxide does not dissolve in water, it is insoluble with magnesium. please explain in simple terms >_< ty!
