So we're going to start out with ganache. Ganache is used for soluble ionic solutes. Now, with the exceptions creating an insoluble solute called a precipitate. So basically, if we're breaking one of our rules for ganache, we're going to make a solid called a precipitate. Now the exceptions are, shh, keep quiet about the ganache. So let's just go through ganache and see how it works. Alright.
Ganache stands for, Ghana g stands for group 1a. So we're talking about group 1a elements, hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, etcetera. They have no exceptions. Meaning if they're part of our ionic compound, the ionic compound overall is automatically soluble. Next, A, A stands for acetate ion. It too, if it's connected or part of an ionic compound, it automatically soluble. N is for nitrate which is NO3-, also no exceptions. The next a is for ammonium ion, which is NH4+. Part of cash c stands for chlorate, and by extension it stands for perchlorate. These have no exceptions. So far we've gone through ganache and see no exceptions.
The next a is just and. We have sulfate, which is SO42- and halogens. Remember, these are your group 7a elements, Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. They have exceptions, so let's talk about it. For sulfate, to remember its exception just remember CBS HAPI. Here we're going to say if sulfate is connected to CBS or HAP, it's going to form a precipitate. It's going to be an exception of silver, or lead. Halogens are soluble unless they're connected to HAP. So if they're connected to mercury, silver, or lead, they form a precipitate, a solid. So just remember, Ganache helps us to identify our soluble ionic compounds. If there are exceptions, they will form a precipitate known, which is our solid. So just keep this in mind when looking at different types of ionic compounds.
