Mass is not conserved in chemical reactions. Mass is therefore never conserved because a little of it turns into energy in every reaction
Answer:
RbI<RbBr<RbCl<RbF
Explanation:
As stated in the question, the latice energy depends on the relative size of the ions. When the action size is constant as in the question, the lattice energy now depends on the relative of the anions. The order of increase in ionic sizes among the halide ions is fluoride<Chloride<Bromide<Iodide. This order of increasing size means that the lattice energy will decrease accordingly as shown in the answer.
