Choose the correct statement from the following :
Options
- ALiF has least negative standard enthalpy of formation among alkali metal fluorides.
- BThe standard enthalpy of formation for alkali metal bromides becomes less negative on descending the group.
- CThe low solubility of CsI in water is due to its high lattice enthalpy.
- DAmong the alkali metal halides, LiF is least soluble in water.
Correct answer
D. Among the alkali metal halides, LiF is least soluble in water.
Step-by-step solution
( 3 ) CsI has less lattice enthalpy. But due to less hydration enthalpy of Cs + ion it is less soluble. ( 4 ) LiF is least soluble in water.
