Answer:
A. CsBr(s)
Explanation:
we will get here compound with the lowest lattice energy
solution
As we know that Lattice energy is always proportional to the charge of ions and it is inversely proportional to the size of ions.
so that by the smallest charge and the largest size give us the lowest lattice energy and that charge and size is express as here as
Charge
Cs (+1), K(+1), Na (+1), Cl(-1), Br(-1), Sr(+2), Ca(+2), O(-2) .......................1
and
Size
Na+ < Ca2+ < K+ < Sr2+ < Cs+, O2- < Cl- < Br- ..........................2
so that here
correct answer is A. CsBr
Continuous spectrum and line spectrum are two types of spectra; their main difference is that continuous spectrum contains no gaps whereas line spectrum contains many gaps.
Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.
<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>
<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
