Solubility of an ionic compound in water...

Solubility of an ionic compound in water is mainly dependent on
A) Lattice enthalpy `" "` B) Hydration enathalpy
Both these factors oppose each other and the resultant of these determines thhe solubility of an ionic compound in water. If lattice enthalpy has greater value, the compound has greater value, the compound is less soluble. In case hydration enthaply has greater value, the compound is highly soluble is water
Compounds of alkalie earth metals are less soluble than alkali metals, due to

A

Their high hydration enthalpy

B

Their high lattice enthalpy

C

Their increased covalent character

D

Their high ionisation enthalpy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
