I have read all through the Solubility rules for compounds and I can't figure this out.

  1. highly insoluble.


  2. Silver bromide (AgBr), a soft, pale-yellow, INSOLUBLE salt well known (along with other silver halides) for its unusual sensitivity to light. This property has allowed silver halides to become the basis of modern photographic materials. AgBr is widely used in black-and-white photography film and is believed by some to have been used for faking the Shroud of Turin. Due to these photosensitive properties silver bromide is considered also an ionic semiconductor. The salt can be found naturally as the mineral bromargyrite (bromyrite).

    The silver halides have a wide range of solubilities, noting that the solubility of AgF is about 6 x 107 times greater than that of AgI. These differences are attributed to the relative solvation enthalpies of the halide ions; the enthalpy of solvation of fluoride is anomalously large.

    AgBr solubility is 0.000014 Ksp (g / 100 g H2O)
