Question

Why is the solubility of mgcl2 much greater than that of mg h2?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation: In case of , the fluorine atom is smaller in size as compared to magnesium. ... So, there is no strong bonding between both the atoms as a result, it is easy to break the bond between magnesium and chlorine. Hence, has much greater solubility as compared

Answer 2

Answer:

Solubility of MgCl2 is greater than MgF2 because the size of Cl2 is more than F2 and also Cl2 has more hydration enthalpy and less lattice energy.

On the other hand the size of F2 is smaller than Cl2 and it has higher lattice energy and less hydration energy.

Thus, solubility of MgCl2 is greater than MgF2.
