The order of solubility of lithium halides in non-polar solvents follows the order:

• LiI > LiBr > LiCl > LiF

• LiF > LiI > LiBr > LiCl

• LiCl > LiF > LiI > LiBr

Which of the following is used as a source of oxygen in space capsules , submarines and breathing masks?

• Li₂O

• 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.
