The order of solubility of lithium halides in non-polar solvents follows the order:
LiI > LiBr > LiCl > LiF

LiCl > LiF > LiI > LiBr
Which of the following is used as a source of oxygen in space capsules , submarines and breathing masks?

Na2O2
KO2
K2O2
Sodium pyrophosphate is represented by which of the following formula?
Na2P2O4
Na4P2O5
Na4P2O7
Na2P2O5
Assertion : The carbonate of lithium decomposes easily on heating to form lithium oxide and CO2.
Reason : Lithium being very small in size polarises large carbonate ion leading to the formation of more stable Li2O and CO2.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
Which is maximum hydrated ?
NaCl
MgCl2
AlCl3
SiCl4
D.
SiCl4
Smaller cation has, larger charge thus will show , larger hydration.
Size of cation
Na+ > Mg2+ > Al3+ > Si4+ minimum size
charge ------------------- maximum charge
Thus , SiCl4 is maximum hydrated.
