Answer:

The answer is C. The high solvation energy for LI+

Explanation:

LiF has lower solubility because of the high solvation energy of Li+ ion. This is due to the smaller size and very big charge compared to Cs+ ion which has a bigger size and solvent molecules easily surround it.

Solvation energy is simply the amount energy that is required to make a solute dissolve in a solvent.

What mass of H2O is produced by the combustion of 1.00 mol of CH4?

kkurt [141]

CH4 : H2O
1 : 2

number of moles of H2O = 1.00 x 2
number of moles of H2O = 2.00mol

mass = number of moles x molar mass

mass of H2O = 2.00 x (1 + 1 + 16)
mass of H2O = 36g
