Review the solubility rules for common ionic compounds. Solubility rules help predict whether a compound will dissolve in water.
Identify the ions present in each compound: Zinc chloride (ZnCl₂), Manganese (V) chlorate (Mn(ClO₃)₅), Lead (II) sulfate (PbSO₄), and Gallium acetate (Ga(C₂H₃O₂)₃).
Apply the solubility rules: Chlorides (Cl⁻) are generally soluble, except for those of silver, lead, and mercury. Chlorates (ClO₃⁻) are typically soluble. Acetates (C₂H₃O₂⁻) are generally soluble.
Consider sulfates (SO₄²⁻): Most sulfates are soluble, but there are exceptions, including lead sulfate (PbSO₄), which is insoluble.
Conclude that based on the solubility rules, Lead (II) sulfate (PbSO₄) is the compound that is insoluble in water.
