Introduction
Definition & Composition
Inorganic Salts are ionic compounds composed of:
- Cation: Metal (e.g., Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Al³⁺) or ammonium (NH₄⁺)
- Anion: Nonmetal (e.g., Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, NO₃⁻) or polyatomic ion (e.g., CO₃²⁻, PO₄³⁻)
Key Feature:
- High melting/boiling points, water-soluble, and electrically conductive in solution.

| Chlorides | Sodium chloride | NaCl |
| Sulfates | Magnesium sulfate | MgSO₄ |
| Nitrates | Potassium nitrate | KNO₃ |
| Carbonates | Calcium carbonate | CaCO₃ |
| Phosphates | Trisodium phosphate | Na₃PO₄ |
Key Properties
| Property | Typical Range | Measurement Method |
|---|---|---|
| Solubility | 0.1 g/L (AgCl) to 359 g/L (NaCl) | Gravimetric analysis |
| Melting Point | 801°C (NaCl) to 1600°C (CaCO₃) | Differential Scanning Calorimetry |
