I am learning chemistry on my own. I've come across "solubility rules"
at http://www.chem.vt.edu/RVGS/ACT/notes/solubility_rules.html

I'm wondering if these are really rules predicted by equations, or just
observations. I would imagine they actually are rules, because
otherwise they would be called "solubility observations", or at least I
would hope so. But, I don't seem to see references to any equations.
