Explanation
correct statement : 1 Superoxides of alkali metals are paramagnetic.
correct statement : 1 Alkali metals impart characteristic colour to the bunsen flame.
Decrease in hydration energy favous the ionic mobility and ionic conductance of metal ions. This is because smaller the size of ion, more highly it is hydrated. Hence it is hydrated. Hence its hydrated ionic radii will be large and its ionic mobility is loss. Hence ionic conductance decreases in aqueous solution.
Size of hydrated ion :
Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+
Ionic mobility and conductance
Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+
If the hydration energy is greater than lattice energy then the compound is soluble in water. In case of these hydroxides, as we move down the group the difference between the hydration energy and lattice energy goes on increasing thus making the hydroxies more easily soluble.
The size of the metal ion increases in the order Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs.
Therefore, the order of solubility is,
LiOH < NaOH < KOH < RbOH < CsOH.
Sodium thiosulfate is added to the solution of silver bromide. Then the precipitate dissolves in preference to the sodium silver thiosulfate complex.
Net chemical equation:
AgBr (aq) + 2Na2S2O3 (aq) → Na3[Ag(S2O3)2] (aq) + NaBr (aq)
Silver bromide (sodiumargentothiosulfate
complex)
