54. Which of the following compounds possesses the highest melting point?
Options:
(a) NaF
(b) NaCI
(c) NaBr
(d) NaI
Sol: For the same alkali metal, the melting points decreases in the order;
Fluorides > Chlorides > Bromides > Iodides.

Since, their lattice energies decrease as the size of the halide ion increases.
NaF NaCl NaBr NaI
M .PT . 1268 K 1081 K 1028 K 934 K

Ans: (a)

55. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Options:

(a) Li  has minimum degree of hydration.

(b) The oxidation state of K in KO2 is 1

(c) Na is used to make a Na / Pb alloy.

(d) MgSO4 is readily soluble in water.

Sol: The hydration enthalpies of alkali metal ions decrease with increases in ionic sizes. Hence, the order

is Li   Na   K   Rb   Cs  .

Therefore, Li  has maximum degree of hydration.

57. Which of the following arrangements is correct in respect of solubility in water?

Options:
(a) CaSO4  BaSO4  BeSO4  MgSO4  SrSO4

(b) BeSO4  MgSO4  CaSO4  SrSO4  BaSO4

(c) BaSO4  SrSO4  CaSO4  MgSO4  BeSO4

(d) BeSO4  CaSO4  MgSO4  SrSO4  BaSO4

Sol: The solubilities of sulphates of alkaline earth metals decrease down the group because the hydration

enthalpy decreases from Be 2 to Ba 2  appreciably as the size of the cation increases. As the sulphate ion
is too big, the magnitude of lattice enthalpy almost remains constant on moving down the group.
So, the correct order of solubility in water is
BeSO4  MgSO4  CaSO4  SrSO4BaSO4

Ans: (b)

58. Which is the correct sequence of solubility of carbonates of alkaline earth metals?
Options:
(a) BaCO3  SrCO3  CaCO3  MgCO3

(b) MgCO3  CaCO3  SrCO3  BaCO3

(c) CaCO3  BaCO3  SrCO3  MgCO3

(d) BaCO3  CaCO3  SrCO3  MgCO3

Sol: Solubility of carbonates decreases on moving down the group as hydration energy decreases.
