Which of the following nitrates crystallizes as anhydroms salt?A. `Be(NO_(3))_(2)`B. `Ba(NO_(3))_(2)`C. `Mg(NO_(3))_(2)`D. `Ca(NO_(3))_(2)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - D Magnesium nitrate crystallizes with six molecules of water while barium nitrate crystallizes as the anhydrous salt. This again shows that the tendency to form hydrates decreases with increasing size and decreasing hydration enthalpy down the group. |
