Recall the general solubility rules for ionic compounds in water, which help predict whether a compound will dissolve or remain mostly solid.
Identify that most nitrates (NO_3^-) are soluble in water without exceptions, so compounds containing the nitrate ion, such as NaNO_3, are generally soluble.
Recognize that sulfates (SO_4^{2-}) are usually soluble, but exceptions include BaSO_4 and PbSO_4, which are known to be poorly soluble or insoluble in water.
Note that most chlorides (Cl^-) are soluble, but silver chloride (AgCl) is an important exception and is considered insoluble or sparingly soluble in water.
Conclude that among the given compounds, NaNO_3 is the most likely to be soluble in water based on these solubility rules.
