Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistrys Block Elements
Select the correct statement(s) about the solubility of LiF and CsI in water
Options
- ALiF is highly soluble due to high hydration enthalpy
- BLiF is sparingly soluble due to high lattice enthalpy
- CCsl is highly soluble due to low lattice enthalpy
- DCsl is sparingly soluble due to low hydration enthalpy
Correct answer
D. Csl is sparingly soluble due to low hydration enthalpy
Step-by-step solution
Answer (B, D) Both LiF and Csl are sparingly soluble due to high lattice energy of former and low hydration enthalpy of latter.
