Which of these salts are soluble in dilute HCl: (NH4) 2CO3, Ba(NO3) 2, MgSO4, or NH4Cl?

Solubility in dil HCl…. A dilute solution of HCl is essentially water. Any substance soluble in water will dissolve in a solution of HCl unless there is a reaction of the cation with chloride ion. For instance, adding AgNO3 to HCl(aq) will result in the formation of insoluble AgCl.

(NH4)2CO3 + HCl(aq) → NH4Cl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) ….. gas is given off
Ba(NO3)2 will simply dissolve in water or in HCl(aq), no insoluble precipitates
MgSO4 is soluble in water; you won’t see it, but HSO4^- ion will form
NH4Cl is soluble in water or in HCl(aq)

All the salts (NH4)2 CO3, Ba(NO3)2, MgSO4 and NH4Cl are soluble in dilute HCl.
