Anomalous Behavior of Lithium Halogens

State whether...

Question

State whether the given statement is true or false:

Silver chloride is sparingly soluble in water because its lattice energy is greater than its hydration energy.

Open in App

Solution

The lattice energy of an ionic solid is the amount of energy given off per number (moles) of ions when the oppositely charged ions in the gas phase come together to form a solid whereas Hydration energy the energy released when water molecules break apart an ionic compound.

Hence silver chloride is sparingly soluble in water because its lattice energy is greater than hydration energy.
