Among the following compounds, a number of compounds that is NOT completely soluble in water is:
Open in App
Solution
Answer:
LiF is water insoluble as: The lattice energy of LiF is very high due to small size of Li+ ions and F− ions. The hydration energy of LiF is lower than lattice energy.
BeF2 is soluble in water due to evolution of large hydration energy, when it is dissolved in water.
Na3PO4 is insoluble in water as most phosphate compounds are insoluble in water
K3PO4 water soluble
BaF2 Water soluble
MgF2 Insoluble
Li3PO4 Slightly soluble in water
NaF- readily soluble in water
CsF-Soluble in water
CaF2 is not soluble in water due to extremely high lattice energy
Mg3(PO4)2 Insoluble
Hence LiF,, Na3PO4, MgF2, CaF2, Mg3(PO4)2 are water insoluble compounds
