question 6

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements regarding the solubility of ionic compounds in water is NOT correct?

• A)Ionic compounds containing relatively large ions generally show higher solubility in water.
• B)Water can more readily separate and hydrate highly charged ions in ionic solids than ions with smaller charges.
• C)Ionic compounds with very large negative lattice energies typically show limited solubility in water.
• D)Al₂O₃ is probably less soluble in water than Na₂O in part because its lattice energy is more negative.
• E)Ba(OH)₂is probably more soluble in water than Ca(OH)₂ in part because its lattice energy is less negative.
