Yeah, we  start IGCSE in grade 8, so we get a whole extra year, grade 10, to solve papers and clear doubts. Cool innit? :P

Umm, the observations say 'lighted splint pops', so that's just the test for hydrogen, proving its presence.

You don't need to know why, but , yes, I believe because of the aqueous. :P It's water, so contains H+ and OH- ions.

OMG 0.0 Its cool ya but no offense kinda stupid ;) Its just wrong to spend all that time studying the same stuff... One of the things i hate about IGCSE, is that they make u do it their way. (u have to know how to answer, solve questions, same style) Like u might know the right answer, but they still give it wrong cuz u didnt write it right way.. WTF 0.o thats just gay. The only good thing about it is that we dont memorize, we understand (to a certain extent xD)

Okay guys, correct me if I'm wrong, and if you can find and accurate source of these, please share.

-All Chlorides, bromides and iodides are soluble except lead chloride/bromide/iodide, silver Cl/Br/I, and mercury Cl/Br/I

-All sulphates are soluble except lead sulphate, barium sulphate and calcium sulphate

-All carbonates are insoluble except Sodium, potassuim and ammonium carbonates, which are soluble.

-All hydroxides are insoluble except Sodium, potassium and ammonium hydroxides, which are soluble.

-All nitrates are soluble

Thanks :)

This is wat my book says. Cross check it. :)

Insoluble compounds.

Chlorides, bromides, iodides of silver and lead.

Sulfates of Calcium, barium and lead.

All hydroxides except those of group 1

All carbonates except those of group 1

Metal oxides except group 1 and 2s.

yup ;) ;)

add sodium with potassium .. i guess thts understood

All sulphides and sulphites are insoluble except potassium , sodium , ammonium

All OXIDES are insoluble except calcium, potassium and ammonium ,

Ca(OH)2 is partially soluble right .. jus wanna make sure ..  ;) ;)

NOTE :
 PbCl2 is soluble in hot water
 AgCl is soluble in aq. ammonia

Acids - Donate Proton (H+)
Bases - Accept Proton (H+)

Alkalis - soluble bases

Basicity - No of replaceable hydrogen ions
Monobasic - 1 replaceable H+ e.g HCl
DiBasic - 2 replaceable H+ e.g H2SO4

Strong acids/alkalis - fully dissociate/ionise - HCl & NaOH
Weak acids/alkalis - only partially dissociate/ionise - CH3COOH & NH4OH

Indicators
Red Litmus paper - Red in acidic - blue in alkaline
Blue Litmus paper - Red in acidic - blue in alkaline
methyl orange - orange/pink in acidic - yellow in alkaline
methyl red - red in acidic - yellow in alkaline
Phenolphthalein - colourless in acidic - pink in alkaline

Yup. The study guide says, ALL HYDROXIDES ARE INSOLUBLE EXCEPT GROUP 1 METALS (SODIUM, POTASSIUM ETC), CALCIUM, STRONTIUM AND BARIUM.
