Are there any rules?
Not really. You can only study prefixes by studying the words they belong to. Sometimes it is easy, because you already know a lot of them. Sometimes you have to look them up in a dictionary.

But there must be some rules?
There are minor rules for spelling though.
ir- is always followed by an r
im- is always followed by an m or p
a- is always followed by a consonant (medeklinker)

This does not work the other way around.
