Question

Why LiF Is Less Soluble In Water Than KF

Answer 1

Answer:

LiF Is Less Soluble In Water Than KF because,

LiF has higher lattice energy than KF

⇒ Lattice energy is greater than Hydration energy in Lithium (Li)

$\boxed{\boxed{\sf {LiF \implies Li^+ \;\;+}\;\;F^-}}$

Therefore,

⇒ Solubility will be less.
