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.

On heating which of the following releases CO2 most easily?

  • K2CO3

  • Na2CO3

  • MgCO3

  • MgCO3


C.
