Which one of the following alkaline earth metal ions has the highest ionic mobility in its aqueous solution?
Options
- ASr 2 +
- BMg 2 +
- CCa 2 +
- DBe 2 +
Correct answer
A. Sr 2 +
Step-by-step solution
Larger the size of cation, lesser it gets hydrated. Hence, show higher mobility in aqueous solution. Among the given species Sr 2 + ion has the largest size, so hydrate to smaller extent and show the highest mobility.
