Hi, I'm taking my grade 11 Chemistry online and my teacher isn't explaining things in a way I am understanding. I have been doing fine until this unit - solubility.

I would appreciate if someone could just outline the basics of what I need to know/ ask myself when I am presented with a question such as :

Will a reaction happen with  Li(s) + Fe(SO4)2(aq) ?
How will NH3(aq) + H2O(l) → proceed?
Or, how to predict the reaction of two dissolved salt species when mixed together, such as Lead Nitrate and Potassium Iodide?

My teacher has briefly mentioned things such as solubility rules and reactivity series but I don't understand how to apply them.

I'm very frustrated with how difficult I'm finding it to wrap my head around this.  I would really appreciate any help you could give me.

Will a reaction happen with  Li(s) + Fe(SO4)2(aq) ?

What if you just put solid lithium into water?

How will NH3(aq) + H2O(l) → proceed?

Hint: ammonia is a weak base.
