The solubility of sulfides can be explained below:
- No, All sulfides are not soluble.
- All alkali metals sulfides and alkaline earth metals sulfides are soluble in water and can form colorless aqueous solutions.
- Due to the instability of sulfide ions, sulfide ions can undergo hydrolysis and emit hydrogen sulfide gas by producing a strong aqueous solution.
- Sulfides of Calcium, Barium, Magnesium, and Cesium are sparingly soluble in water.
- The insoluble ones include Nickel, Zinc, Aluminum, Silver, and Gold.
Therefore, the solubility of sulfides is explained in above points.
