The stability of the following alkali metal chlorides follows the order:A. `LiCI gt KCI gt NaCI gt CsCI`B. `CsCI gt KCI gt NaCI gt LiCI`C. `NaCl gt KCI gt LiCI gt CsCI`D. `KCI gt CsCI gt NaCI gt LiCI` |
Answer» Correct Answer - D The stability of compound is linked with enthalpy of formation. Smaller the value, (greater the negative value) more will be the stability. Based on the values, LiCI is least stable while KCI is maximum stable `Delta_(f) H` for LiCI = - 408.8 kJ `mol^(-1)` `Delta_(f) H` for NaCI = - 412.5 kJ `mol^(-1)` `Delta_(f) H` for CsCI =- 433.0 kJ `mol^(-1)` `Delta_(f) H` for KCI = - 436.0 kJ `mol^(-1)` |
