MCQ
Which of the following compounds readily decomposes on heating to give ionic compound with higher value of lattice energy as compare to corresponding reactant?
i. $Li _2 CO _3$
ii. $LiBF _4$
iii. $BeSO _4$
iv. $Na _2 O _2$
v. $BeCO _3$
  • A
    All of these
  • B
    i, iii, iv, v
  • C
    i, iv, v
  • D
    i, v

Answer

A. All of these
Explanation :
$Li _2 CO _3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} Li _2 O + CO _2$
$LiBF _4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} LiF + BF _3$
$BeSO _4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} BeO + SO _2+\frac{1}{2} O _2$
$Na _2 O _2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} Na _2 O +\frac{1}{2} O _2$
$BeCO _3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} BeO + CO _2$
In all of these above reactions, the lattice energy of the product is higher as compared to the reactant.
