NEET2014Chemistrys Block ElementsActual
Among the following the least thermally stable is
Options
- AK ₂ CO ₃
- BNa ₂ CO ₃
- CBaCO ₃
- DLi ₂ CO ₃
Correct answer
D. Li ₂ CO ₃
Step-by-step solution
Thermal stability of carbonates increases on moving down a group. Thus, lithium carbonate, Li ₂ CO ₃ is least thermally stable. Li ₂ CO ₃ Li ₂ O + CO ₂
