Which of the following compounds are water soluble ?A. `MgCI_(2)`B. `CaCI_(2)`C. `SrCI_(2)`D. All of these |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D The chlorides, bromides, and iodides of Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba are ionic, have much lower lattice enthalpies and, hence, lower meltiing points than the fluorides, and are readily soluble in water. The solubility decreases somewhat with increasing atomic number. |
