It is generally not a good idea to regard as being "soluble or not" - in practise, many compounds that are often regarded as "Insoluble in water" are actually soluble to a small extent. If you take magnesium hydroxide, for example, it is usually regarded as insoluble (it is used to form the suspension known as "milk of magnesia") but in fact it does dissolve in water at around 0.0007 g per 100 ml at 25 degrees C.

So the answer is that group 2 hydroxides are all very slightly soluble in water, but compared to group 1, their water solubility is MUCH lower. Magnesium hydroxide, 0.0007 g/100 ml at 25 degrees C - potassium hydroxide, 121 g/100ml at 25 degrees C.

Is common salt soluble in all types of water?

$NaCl(s) rightleftharpoons Na^+(aq) + Cl^(-)(aq)$ When we write $Na^+(aq)$ we means the aquated sodium ion; this results from the chemical dissolution of salt in a water (i.e. aqueous) . Another...

What substance is produced during the reaction of an acid with a metal hydroxides?

$M(OH)_2(s) +2HX(aq) rarr MCl_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)$ This is, in effect, an acid base reaction, i.e.: $HO^(-) + H_3O^(+) rarr 2H_2O(l)$

Why is lithium carbonate insoluble in water? Does this not break the rule that the salts of all the alkali metals are soluble?

Actually, lithium carbonate is slightly soluble in water, its solubility at $25^@"C"$ being listed at $"1.3 g/100mL"$. However, lithium carbonate is not very soluble compared with other lithium salts or...

If two solutions with different densities are placed in a glass, and they form two layers, does this mean they are not soluble?

Hexanes and water, diethyl ether and water, methylene chloride and water, are IMMISCIBLE. There are many other examples. They form 2 separate layers, with the most dense on the bottom....

Why is pyridine soluble in water, whereas benzene is not?

Pyridine, $C_6H_5N$, features a nitrogen centre that is more electronegative than the carbocyclic carbons of the benzene ring. On this nitrogen centre, while the lone pair is delocalized somewhat around...

A solute is soluble in water. Should the solute also be soluble in hexanes?

Why? Well, water is a fairly powerful , capable of dissolving both polar and ionic substances. The solute is likely ionic (e.g. NaCl) or strongly polar (i.e. sugar). On the...

Hydrochloric acid is not soluble in toluene, a nonpolar solvent but quite soluble in water. What can be inferred about the nature of the acid?

Likes dissolve in likes. Hydrochloric acid not only dissolves in water, but it dissociates: $HCl->H^+ +Cl^-$ The $H^+$ attaches to a water molecule to form hydronium: $HCl+H_2O->H_3O^+ +Cl^-$ Where the...
