Question

The order of solubility of lithium halides in non polar solvents follows the order :

• A. $LiI>LiBr>LiCl>LiF$
• B. $LiF>LiI>LiBr>LiCl$
• C. $LiCl>LiF>LiI>LiBr$
• D. $LiBr>LiCl>LiF>LiI$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $LiI>LiBr>LiCl>LiF$

As the size of the anion increases from $F^{-}$ to $I^{-}$, the covalent character increase and hence the solubility in non-polar solvent increases.
$LiI>LiBr>LiCl>LiF$
