Talk:Solubility chart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coefficients are the same size as the subscripts, so I really can't tell what's what. However, it's a lot better than when I created this page (I didn't know how to make tables).Ctifumdope
- Yeah; unfortunately, you're on your own for that one as I haven't learned how to edit chemical equations yet in the Wiki language. (Plus, I'm not positive I'd get the subscripts right.)Mikeblas 04:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks
The colors really make the table more easy to read. However, I just noticed that there's a small issue on the first row...and I don't know how to fix it yet (I'm still learning how to edit Wikipedia). The subscripts are a little bit blotted out...Ctifumdope
- Unfortunately, it is a browser bug. If you look at the page in IE, the subscripts are truncated as you've notice. In FireFox, they're fine. Maybe there's a workaround. I notie that AI001 quit using the wiki codes for tables and used plain HTML, so perhaps between the two, we can find something that works. Meanwhile, doesn't this article need more content, and some referenes? -- Mikeblas 16:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- I wrapped the first instance that used a <sub>script tag, Carbonate, with a <p>aragraph tag to stop the number dropping into the border, forcing the rest of the row to be resized. It's not ideal but I think it fixes the issue with a minimum of disruption to other browsers. Same thing could be done (per <th>) cell on the vertical axis if they're being fouled by the border. (The table looks/ed OK to me now/then - but other users might see differences depending on browser / font settings / <th> markup / other bugs.) Yes, I stopped using the Wikipedia pipe syntax after a while of struggling with it because I thought all the pipes | and I for insoluble would probably be difficult to maintain!

- I don't think that there can be more content added. After all, the article is simply about a chart...unless the chart needs explanations.Ctifumdope
- Doesn't the soluability change based on temperature and atmosphereic pressure? -- Mikeblas 22:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reminder! Ctifumdope
[edit] Determining the solubility
This solubility chart is great! However, I'd like to know the chemistry behind it. Why are some compounds soluble and others not? Thanks! 219.75.97.38 15:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New External Link
Found this great external website with solubility chart. Only useful for people who know their common ions. Ctifumdope 22:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed it, as it doesn't add anything to the article; this is per WP:EL. -- Mikeblas 03:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- It has more ionic combinations than those provided by this current chart here...if somebody could add on that would be better. Otherwise, it would be helpful for those who need more compounds than those provided here...so until somebody adds to this chart, I think it would be wise to keep the link.

[edit] calcium hydroxide solubility
Ca(OH)2 is insoluble .
