Which of the following compounds has the lowest melting point?
CaBr2
CaI2
CaF2
CaF2
B.
CaI2
As covalent character increases, melting point decreases, thus order of melting point is
CaF2 > CaCl2 > CaBr2 > CaI2
In the replacement reaction
The reaction will be most favourable if M happens to be
Na
K
Rb
Rb
C.
Rb
For the reaction,
The reaction will be faster with Rb because lattice energy of RbF is less than LiF, NaF, KF.
Which one of the following is present as an active ingredient in bleaching powder for bleaching action?

CaCl2
CaCl2
D.
CaCl2
CaOCl2, Calcium hypochlorite is the active ingredient in bleaching powder which releases chlorine.
