MCQ
The correct order of hydration enthalpies of alkali metal ions is
  • A
    $Li^+ > Na^+ > K^+ > Cs^+ > Rb^+$
  • B
    $Na^+> Li^+ > K^+ > Rb^+ > Cs^+$
  • C
    $Na^+ > Li^+ > K^+ > Cs^+ > Rb^+$
  • $Li^+ > Na^+ > K^+ > Rb^+ > Cs^+$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Li^+ > Na^+ > K^+ > Rb^+ > Cs^+$
d
Hydration enthalpy depends upon ionic potential (charge/size). As ionic potential increases hydration enthalpy increases

${\Delta _{hyd}}{H^o} \propto \frac{q}{r}$
