How lithium Nitrates and carbonated behave differently than nitrates and carbonated of other alkali metals when heated ?
Answers
Answer:
The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. It was launched into orbit by space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Hubble orbits about 547 kilometers (340 miles) above Earth. It is the length of a large school bus and weighs as much as two adult elephants.
Explanation:
(I) Solubility
Nitrates, carbonates and sulphates of alkali metals are water soluble. On moving down the group, the solubility increases. This is because their lattice energies decreases more rapidly than their hydration energies.
Alkaline earth metal nitrates are water soluble. On moving down the group, their solubility decreases. This is because their hydration energies decreases more rapidly than their lattice energies.
Alkaline earth metal carbonates and sulphates have lower solubility than alkali metal carbonates and sulphates. The solubility of alkaline metal carbonates and sulphates decreases with decrease in hydration energy as we move down the group.
