Hi everyone for this problem, we want to know which of the following statements is correct. Based on the solid ability rules. So the first one is that palladium hydroxide is soluble in water, palladium. Hydroxide is insoluble in water or none of the above. So for this problem, we're dealing with an hydroxide and we need to recall the solid ability rules for hydroxide. So let's start off with what's soluble, so what's soluble with hydroxide is group one A ions, so all group A ions are soluble with hydroxide. And then we have a couple of cat ions that are also soluble. That is the ammonium cat ion, the calcium cat ion, the proscenium cat ion and the barium kati on. Okay. In terms of insoluble, everything else is insoluble. So we're right. Everything else. Okay, so here are element is palladium. So we see here that palladium isn't on our list of things that are soluble with hydroxide. So that means the answer to this problem is going to be that palladium hydroxide is insoluble in water. Okay, and that is the answer to this question. And that's it for this question. I hope this was helpful
